I don't believe it is entirely circumstantial that so many volcanic events popped up right after the first Nepal quake. The pressures from magma below have to play a role. I don't recall the volcanoes on Sumatra doing much before Nepal, at least not actually erupting. If they did, well you have access to much better data.

I don't follow volcanoes much, but I think I know enough to say that volcanic activity that far from the quake makes it unlikely for there to be a causal connection. On the other hand, if there were volcanoes in Nepal and those started erupting, then yes there was probably an influence from the quakes.

I seem to recall off the top of my head of a volcano or two in Chile erupting after a particularly large quake down there.
