Summary: Laksminarayan Rao 1955 (p. 23): “Fragment. In characters of about the 9th century A.D.” Laksminarayan Rao 1955 (p. 56): “At Chinnanāgapūṭi, Chittoor District, was found a record (No. 133 of 1943-44) of Kō-Vijaya-Narasi[ṃhavarman] incised in Tamil characters of the 9th century A.D. He is apparently identical with the homonynous chief figuring in the Kīḻmuttukūr and Baṅgavāḍi inscriptions of the same period. In the A.R. for 1933-34, Part II, para. 6, a chieftain of this name whose record is engraved in Vaṭṭeḻuttu characters has been assigned to the Western Gaṅga dynasty. But the reasons given there for treating him as a prince of this family are not satisfactory. Until more convincing evidence is found it would be safe not to connect him with any known ruling family of this period and region. ”
