However, Nannuka is mentioned as the dynasty's founder in two inscriptions found at Khajuraho, dated [[Vikrama Samvat]] 1011 (954 CE) and 1059 (1002 CE). These two inscriptions, eulogistic in nature, do not provide much information of historical value.{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|p=25}} | However, Nannuka is mentioned as the dynasty's founder in two inscriptions found at Khajuraho, dated [[Vikrama Samvat]] 1011 (954 CE) and 1059 (1002 CE).

The 954 CE inscription states that he had conquered many enemies, and that other princes feared and obeyed him. It also states that he was "shaped like the god of love", and "playfully decorated the faces of the women of the quarters with the sandal of his fame".{{sfn|Dikshit|1976|pp=25-26}} The inscription also praises him using vague phrases, such as "a touchstone to test the worth of the gold of the regal order".{{sfn|Mitra|1977|p=27}} The 1002 CE inscription describes him as the Sun and the pearl-jewel of his family. It compares his archery skills to that of the legendary hero [[Arjuna]].
