Nāgarāśi-paṇḍita, who was also an ascetic of the Kālamukha order, received a specified gift of land in about A. D. 1189 from all the jagat-koṭṭali of the Seven-and-a-half-Lakh (country), Māra Bōva, Biṭṭi Bōva, and all the jagatis of Kalikaṭṭe, Duggabbe's son Kētaṇṇa, Kalleya, and the sixty chief men, in the presence of Sōmeya Nāyaka and all the subjects and farmers of Kalikaṭṭe. These jagati-koṭṭalis, whose identification it is not possible to determine, are also described in the same epigraph as having made Kalikaṭṭe as beautiful as Amarāvatipura, "constructed tanks built Śiva temples which all the world praised", and filled the town of Kalikaṭṭe with fruitful areca trees and fields bearing the gandhaśāli rice.⁴
