The bana families took the title of Mutharasa

 The Vijnapti of the Chirrur plates issued in the sixth year of Nripatunga was Muttaraiyan, who also had the title Paranjaya. He was a Bana and is called a descendent of Balikula (Bali Chakravarty). The cave temple at Malaiyadipatti, in Pudukkottai district, was excavated by one Kuvavan Sattan alias Videlvidugu Muttaraiyan in the 16th year of Dantivarman. A Kadupatti Muttariya figures in an inscription of Dantivarman from Pallipalayam village in Kanchipuram taluk. He appears as a Vijnapti. This would suggest that Videlvidugu Muttaraiyan was identical with Kadupatti Muttaraiyan. Kadupatti Muttaraiya raided Koyattur in the reign of Bana Vijayaditta Virachulamani Prabhumeru as mentioned in the Punganur record. This Bana Vijayaditta Prabhumeru, was a contemporary of Nripatunga and it is evident that this Kadupatti Muttaraiyan is identical with the Kadupatti Muttaraiya mentioned in the Chirrur plates as Vijnapti. Vijayaditta, Vikramaditta and others called themselves Mavalivanadhiraya. They probably belonged to a colateral branch of the Bana family. The other Bana family took the title Mutarasa. Kadupatti Muttarasa was active from the 16th year of Dantivarman to that of Nripatunga, for over sixty years from 810 to 870. Kaduvetti Muttaraiya's son Arikanta Perumal, is mentioned in the 15th year of Nripatunga in an inscription of Thiruvalangadu. Arikanta continued to hold power and influence upto the 24th year of Nripatunga. In this record he is mentioned as the son of Kadupatti Muttaraiya. In all probability Kadupatti Muttaraiya passed away before the 15th year of Nripatunga.
