Nanyadeva (IAST: Nānyadev[1]) was the founder[2][3] of the Karnat dynasty of Mithila.[4] He established his capital in Simraungadh and ruled the greater Mithila region for 50 years.[5][6] He is known for his patronage of scholars.[7] He was from Karnat Kshatriya Kula and began to rule Mithila from the citadel of Simraungadh which was situated on the modern India-Nepal border, in 1097 CE. A stone inscription found at Simraongarh and Nepālavaṃśāvalī[8] states that he made an erection in a Singha Lagna of a Saturday in a Sravana, the tithi being Sukla seven and the Naksatara Svati in the year 1019 Shaka (July 10, 1097 AD).[9]

In his writings, Nanyadeva referred to himself as Mithileśwara which translates to ruler of Mithila.[10]
