In Khārvela’s inscriptions we have mention of a place founded by the former kings of Kaliṅga and known by the name of Pithudaga or Pithuda, which had become in one hundred and thirteen years a watery jungle of grass. It is located in the interior of Chicakole and Kaliṅgapatam, towards the course of the river Nāgavatī.⁶²⁴
