Madhukāmārṇava (circa 1019-38 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.

These plates (mentioning Madhukāmārṇava) were dug up from the fields of a village in the Bobbili Taluk of the Srikakulam District, Andhra. It records the grant of the village of Koḍila (Koḍili) in the Varāhavarttanī-viṣaya, for the merit of the king and his parents.
