Nriputungavarman was the younger son of Nandivarman III and his wife, the Rashtrakuta princess Shankha.
[3] Nrpatungavarman[4] had at least two queens, Viramahadevi[5] and Kadavanmadevi, as both appear in his inscriptions as donors.
Under his reign, the rock-cut shrine at Namakkal was sculpt and a Vishnu temple in Ukkal was commissioned for his queen.
[6] A copper plate inscription dating to the eighth year of the reign of Nriputunga Varman was unearthed in Bahour in 1879.
The inscription in both Sanskrit and Tamil describes a grant of income from three villages to a seat of learning at Bahour.
