one list has Gorkha, but according to Pradhan it was "never included in the list of the Chaubasi (sic!) rajyas possibly because the lines of affiliation, had been formalised before the rajya was brought under the rule of Hindu Dynasty." (Pradhan 2012: 4);
in some lists (Stiller 1973: 69) names appear that are otherwise counted among the bāīse rājya, including
Bajhang,
Chilli,
Dang, and
Salyan;
