Aipura (Magge,) which is on the bank of the river Malaprabhā (Malapahāriņi) in north Karnataka, was his native place. He praises, in a philosophic manner, the greatness of that village (Aipuri) and also the sanctity of the river.
Upamanyu Śivācārya was the first preceptor of this geneology, in whom spiritual knowledge and action are blended harmoniously. Bhimanātha Prabhu descended from Upamanyu Sivācārya and the former was known for his penance. Mahagurukāleśvara was Bhimanātha's son and he was well-versed in Sastras. Boppanātha was the son of Mahagurukaleśvara and he was deeply versed in Srauta and smarta literature. Boppanātha's son was Nākarājaprabhu and his son was Sangameśvara who had mastery over Indian philosophy in general and Virasaiva philosophy in particular. Mayideva himself, the author of the present work, and son of Sangameśvara, gives the etymology of the term Mayideva" as synonym to Siva.
