RENOVATION OF TRIPURANTAKA

It states that when Arjunadeva was reigning victoriously at Anahilapataka an  while the Mahamatya Ranaka Maladeva was transacting the business of the seal  and Amir-Rukunadina was reigning on the coast of Hormuja, one ship-owner Noradina Piroja,a native of Horamujadesha with the blessings of the Pashupatacharya of the shrine of Soma natha, bought a piece of land outside the  town of Somanatha and built a mijigiti (masjid).

For the maintenance of this temple (masjid) he dedicated certain shops and appointed trustees including the Muslim congregations of Nakhuyanaurika (ship-owners), and the wharf people who were devoted to the Martyr and their preacher, and the Muslims  among the landholders and the Persian artisans.
