Mahabhutavarman is mentioned in the Harsha Charita as Bhutivarman. As a matter of fact, in line 51 of the Nidhanpur inscription itself Mahabhutavarman is referred to as Bhutivarman. Evidently he was popularly known as Bhutivarman. He married Vijnanavati and had successor to throne named Chandramukhavarman.[1] He married Bhogavati and had successor to throne named Sthitavarman.

Under his reign, "Kamarupa became a powerful kingdom."[2]
