Tamil-Oriya Multilingual Inscriptions which speaks tamil saivamadam
settlement in bhubaneswar. This is a rare stone inscription on debtor
and creditor.

The two inscription are engraved on a stone slab measuring about 26
¾" in height, 23" in breadth and 5 3/4" in thickness. About the
middle of the top part, there is an image of Ganesa measuring 8 ½" in
length, 6" in breadth and 1 1/4" in depth, engraved in bas-relief.
The space in the right side of the surface is covered by an Oriya
inscription in 34lines. The space in the left half of the stone is
occupied by an inscription in the Tamil language inscribed in Tamil
and grantha characters. The writing is in a fairly good state of
preservation.
Both the Oriya and Tamil sections of the inscription
refer to a transaction between a debtor and a creditor, the former
being a pontiff of a Matha of Tamilian Saivas at Bhubaneswar and the
letter a local Oriya moneyed man. That is why the document is written
in two different versions, Oriya and Tamil.

Translation
Lines 1-5 Hail | Prosperity | In the 22nd (regnal) year of
Vira Narasimhadeva on Sunday the seventh tithi of the dark fortnight
of the month of Karttikai
Lines 6-18 Tapaiajamunigal of the 8iddhesvara mada at the
illustrious Kirtivasa (Krittivasa – Kshetra) after having mortgaged
land to Durggabhattar - the land consisting of 12 Vattis at
Vaghamara, given for feeding the Mahesvaras in this monastery for the
propitiation of the eleven Rudras by the Elder Narasimhadeva and
taken a loan of 118 Madha - is obtained Sivaloka (i.e. died) without
repaying these 148 Madhais.
Lines 19-29 This Mada (Matha) having then come under the control
of Tapachchakravarttigal and he and Durgga-bhattar being friends
owing to their birth under the same rasi, this latter gave back 148
madais in the hands of this (former) with the libation of water (i.e.
relieved the former from the debt; and himself paid off 10 madhais
and 30 pottis of paddy that had been (additionally) borrowed from his
(i.e. Durggabhatttar's father in law or maternal uncle) Uttaresvara
Nayaka and gave the land in his (i.e. Tapachchakravarttigal's) hands
with libation of water.
Lines 30-32 Let the ascetics who have become well disciplined in
the convention (of the Mahesvaras) in various Madas and have been
born in the three Mandates be trained (here) for the long life,
health and prosperity of this Vira Narasjmhadeva. Let the Sun, the
Moon, the Wind etc bear witness to this (transaction).

Historical Note
Both the inscriptions speak of two Narasimhas, of whom one has got
the distinguishing epithet "Bada"in Oriya and "Pousti" in Tamil; both
meaning big or elder and the other was Sri Vira Narasimhadeva during
whose reign the inscriptions under study were incised. Dr. Sircar
identifies the reigning monarch with Narasirnha IV and calculates the
date as 24th September, 1396 A D. But this identification is wrong as
the details of the date given in the records, 22 Srahi Kfirttfta
Krsna RavivSra, fully tally witti 2nd October.1295 A.D. when the 22nd
Anka year was current. In that case Bada Narasimhadeva was his grand
father, the most powerful Narasimha I (1238-1264 A.D.) who is known
from his Lingaraja temple Inscriptions as a great patron of Saiva
ascetics. The significance of the expression Ekadasa-Rudra-bhiksba is
clear from the Tamil version, which states that the grant was made
for the feeding of the Saiva ascetics for gaining the favour of
elevan Rudras.
The name of Nara Narasimha is found in an inscription of Saka 1203 in
the Lakshmi-Narasimha temple at Simhachalam, in an inscription of
1205 Saka in the DurgS Devi temple at Bhogapuram in two inscriptions
of Saka 1215 m the Kurmesvara temple at Srikurmam, in the
Ghandrasekhara temple in the Prataparudrapura Sasana in the Puri
district. It was also issued in his 22nd Srahi like the two records
under discussion in the village of Vaghamari (identified with the
present Bhagamari village under Begunia P.S., Dist. - Puri) in favour
of Siddhesvara matha at Sri Kirtivasa ksetra {Bhubaneswar) by
Narasimha I.
father in-law (or maternal uncle) of Durgabhatta Acharya. It is also
clear from its final portion that the land being free from debt was
re dedicated for the purpose of the training and maintenance of
ascetics who hailed from the three mandates of Choda, Pandya and
Kanchi desa having being initiated in the conventional code of
conduct in the var
