See Vishveshvaranand Ind. Journ., Vol. I, pp. 87 ff., etc. In one record (Journ. Karnatak Univ., Vol. II, No 2, January 1959, p. 47), the N膩gava峁兣沘, to which a Kadamba king's minister M膩yideva belonged, is called Brahma-k峁tra because it originated from the intercouse of its progenitor N膩gar膩ja with a Br膩hma峁嘺 girl.
