A centuries-old Veeragallu (hero stone) carrying a Kannada inscription has been found at the Lakshmi Narayana Swamy Temple in Neeragunda village, Hassan district, Karnataka. It records that a soldier named Boppa died shortly after Hoysala ruler Vishnuvardhana's death at Bankapura and was memorialised by his wife Maravve. The inscription dates the event to Ekadashi of Pushya Masa, Durmathi Samvatsara, 1064, equivalent to 11 December 1141. Historians had so far placed Vishnuvardhana's death at Bankapura somewhere between 1149 and 1152.
