scholars hold that king Govindarāja III, king Tribhuvanadhavala and king Amoghavarşa who is shown as having been the son of king Nirupama are identical. I am unable to agree with thisview. If it is held that the stanza -

The other three copper-plate inscriptions mention that king Govindarāja III was the son of king Nirupama.
