Some also consider Buddhanilkantha as the fourth Narayan, instead of Bisankhu Narayan.

Before Buddhanilkantha, however, the fourth Narayan was Lokapālasvāmī. It was located at a place known during Licchavi ages (3rd to 9th century AD) as Haṃsagrihadraṅga. This place today is around Sudāl (previously Sudāl VDC) in Bhaktapur district.
