Economic obstacles

Explanation:

POLITICAL OBSTACLE

It was not an essay task to unify Nepal, divided into Baise,Chaubise,Sen and Malla states. Those states stood as a big obstacle to the unification campaign. Many of these kingdoms were better off politically and economically. Lamjung in particular in Chaubise states was a great enemy to Gorkha.In the event of the Gorkha force, marching towards Nuwakot, it could be hit from behind by Lamjung. Prithvi Narayan Shah consulted his maternal uncle, the prince of palpa on the problem. the latter said in reply,"Lamjung is a larger vulture, Gorkha, a snake and Nepal, a frog.Evade the larger vulture, then the snake will have the frog to eat". In course of time, there was agreement reached between Gorkha and Ripu Mardan Shah, the king of Lamjung through the efforts sought by Kalu Pandey (Banshidhar Pandey). Prithvi Narayan Shah promoted Kalu Pandey to the post of 'Kaji', as per the wishes of his caretaker mother Chandraprava Vati and his courtiers although he wanted Biraj Bakheti to hold that post.

ECONOMIC OBSTACLE

Gorkha with twelve hundred households was not better off economically as compared to the Chaubise states. The poor economic condition of Gorkha was a handicap to the unification venture for Prithvi Narayan Shah. Being aware that the help from Makwanpur, lying in the Terai was potential for the unification campaign, he had the nuptial relation with Makwanpur state which was strong politically and economically, But the King of Makwanpur Indra Kumari, his sister at the time of wedding and also the single -tooth elephant used in her farewell procession. All this was intolerable to Prithvi Narayan Shah and he left behind the bride. He married Narendra Lakshmi, a Kanshi princess afterwards. In order to expedite his programme of unification, he appealed his countrymen to co-operate him with cash and kinds for strengthening the army.
