Kāmārṇava I (circa 943-78 A.D.) is one of the three sons of Vajrahasta (b. 896 A.D), according to the “Grant of Rājarāja I Devendravarman” (1077 A.D.). Vajrahasta I (circa 896-940 A.D.) is described in a stanza (verse 1) saying that he united under his rule the earth (i.e. the Gaṅga kingdom), which had been previously divided into five parts ruled separately by different kings, and reigned for forty-four years.

Kāmārṇava II (1016 A. D.) is the son of Aniyaṅkabhīma I, as mentioned in the “Grant of Rājarāja I Devendravarman” (1077 A.D.). Three stanzas (verses 4-6) speak respectively of three sons of Aniyaṅkabhīma I, viz., Kāmārṇava II (circa 1016 A. D.), Guṇḍama II (circa 1016-1019 A. D.) and Madhukāmārṇava (circa 1019-38 A. D.), who respectively reigned for six months, three years and nineteen years.
