Nannarāja is the name of a king mentioned in the  “Senakapāṭ inscription of the time of Śivagupta Bālārjuna” (7th century A.D.). Nannarāja appears to be none other than Śivagupta Bālārjuna’s great-grandfather bearing that name.

This stone (mentioning Nannarāja) was found in the house of a Brāhmaṇa resident of Senakapāṭ. The object is to eulogise the construction of a Śiva temple and its dedication in favour of a Śaiva ascetic together with some plots of land.
