1. The Karnatas of Mithila (1097 to 1324/1325 A.D.) emerge as one of the most important ruling dynasties of Mithila. Mithila witnessed independent rule under the Karnatas, after a gap of almost 1500 years. After the fall of Vaishali, during the Mauryan rule, Mithila had been subdued to the kingdom of Magadha and thereafter it was a part of the kingdom of the Imperial Guptas also ruling from Magadha, and then as a part of the Pala kingdom of Bengal. (Note based on the Gazetteer / History of Mithila)
a. The origin of the Karnatas of Mithila is not clearly established, but they are generally referred as connected with the Chalukya invasion of North India during the rule of Someswara I and Vikramaditya in the latter half of the eleventh century A.D. They originally hailed from South India, possibly from Karnataka, and gradually settled and gained prominence in this part of Mithila.
b. Nanyadeva was the founder of Karnatas dynasty of Mithila in 1097 A.D. He was a contemporary of Ramapal and Madanpala, Vijayasena and Vallalsena of Bengal, Govindachandra Gahadwal of Kanauj and Raghava of Kalinga. He distinguished himself in war and peace. There was tussle between the Karnatas of Mithila and the Senas of Bengal and the fact stands attested by the Deopara inscriptions of Vijayasena. Nanyadeva succeeded in stabilizing his power in the Tirhut and in extending it to Nepal. The Andhra-Thathdi Inscription of his minister, Sridhardas refers to Nanyadeva. Though he had his capital at Simaraongarh (now in Nepal) he had temporary capitals in a number of places in the district of Darbhanga / Madhubani. Through his skill and farsightedness, he maintained the individuality of his kingdom. He died in 1147 A.D.
