The genealogy quoted by Grierson (Ind. Ant., Vol. XIV., p. 196) represents Kämöévara as the son of Lakshmana, grandson of Govinda, great-grandson of Viśvarüpa and great-great-grandson of Atirupa. Udayasimha is mentioned as another son of Bhavasimha and Sarvasimha is represented as the only son of Tripurasimha. Ratnesvarasimha (Rataya), Raghusimha Vijayanarayana and Brahmasimha Harinarayana are mentioned as brothers of Narasimha Darpanärāyaṇa. A brother of Chandrasimha was Durlabhasimha or Rapasimha whose son was Viśvanatha Naranarayana. Ramachandra and Prataparudra are represented as the sons of Viśvanatha, and Ratnasimha as the son of Ramachandra. Purushottama seems to be mentioned as Garudanarayana. A brother of Lakshminätha Kamsanäräyana was Balabhadra and his two step-brothers were Ratinatha and Bhavanatha Hridayanarayana. Mention is also made of Dhirasimha's son Jagannnarayana whose sons were Madhusüdana, Srinatha, Kirtisimha, Rudranarayana and Viravara.
