The Nolamba dynasty the area they held sway over is referred to as Nolambasa-37 of Henjeru (Hemavathi), Nolambalige (Nolambavadi-32000), etc.
[1] An inscription says that the Nolamba dynasty claimed descent from the King Trinayana Pallava.
Hence, Mahendra's mother Divabbarasi was the queen regent during this period of interregnum after his death.
Rajaraja I, the Chola emperor, invaded Nolambavadi and occupied most of its southern parts.
[3] Other Nolamba officers listed in various inscriptions are: Irivabe-danga Nolamba Ghateyankakara, who appears to have married Pampa Devi, a daughter of Satyashraya of Western chalukyas.
