King Mānadeva (464–505 AD),[1] also Mandev or Mandeva (Nepali: मानदेव), was a king of Licchavi dynasty in present-day Nepal. He was the son of Dharmadeva, grandson of Shankardeva and the great grandson of Vrsadeva.[2] He suppressed the feudal chiefs of the east and west and also conquered Mallapuri. He minted coins called Mananka and constructed the palace of Managriha for himself which later became a center of administration of the Licchavi kings.[3][4]
