Vira Narayan (Bir Narayan) was the son of Lakshmi Narayan. Not many of his coins are known. The legends are the
only ones in the Cooch Behar series that have an invocation to Krishna, rather than Siva and Parvati (Hara Gauri).
They continue the practice of having not only the Saka year but also the Cooch Behar era year.
