A passage from my biography of MMY (or MPV or MCS) Quite why Mahesh is known by two names, Mahesh Prasad Varma and M C Srivastava, is difficult to establish. But, maybe the rumour is correct which suggests that Mahesh left his family home early in life and, since he appears to have maintained close links with both his Uncle Raj R P Varma and Raj's son Girish Chandra Varma, it might be speculated that it was with their family that he spent some of his childhood, perhaps temporarily assuming the family name?
