A verse in the Vikramarjuna Vijayam, composed by the Chalukya court poet Pampa, states that his son Arikesari II had Indra's shoulder as his cradle.
According to one theory, this may mean that Narasimha's wife Jakavve and the mother of Arikesari II, was a daughter of the Rashtrakuta king Indra III.
[3] During the reign of Indra's predecessor Krishna II, the Gurjara-Pratihara king Mahipala had captured Malwa and other regions ruled by the Rashtrakuta feudatories.
[5] This description suggests that the after capture Lata and Malwa, the Rashtrakuta army proceeded to the Yamuna River in the north, and defeated Mahipala's Gurjara-Pratihara forces.
[7] As a Rashtrakuta general, Narasimha advanced up to the Ganges river, where he bathed his horses, and then returned to Kalapriya, where he erected a victory pillar.
