An inscription at Rajuru in Ron taluka of Dharwad district, Karnataka, mentions Jagadekamalla ruling from his capital at Kalyanapura. It records that, while Prabhu Joga was administering Rajuru, an image of the god Jogesvara was installed and several gifts of land and money were made to the temples of Jogesvara, Gavaresvara and Somanatha. This record is dated 1033AD. It is plausible that 'Jagava' of this coin is the same as Prabhu Joga mentioned in this inscription.
