Chintapaiya (छिन्तपैय) is mentioned in the “Ṭhāṇā plates of Arikesarin”.—Accordingly, “... the guru of all gods and demons,—have given with great devotion and with exemption from taxes, confirming the gift with the pouring out of water, to the family priest and Ācārya, the revered Tikkapaiya, the son of the revered Chintapaiya, of the Jāmadagnya gotra and the Ṛgveda śākhā, who is an astrologer and is adept in religious performances, who is always engaged in the six duties of sacrificing for himself and others, studying (the Vedas etc.) and teaching them (to other), and so forth...”.

These copper plates (mentioning Chintapaiya ) were found in digging for some works at the Fort of Tanna (Ṭhāṇā) the capital of Salset. The object of the present plates was to record the grant, by the Śilāhāra king Arikesarin, of three villages in the Vatsarāja-viṣaya to the family priest and teacher Tikkapaiya on the occasion of a lunar eclipse which occurred on the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Kārttika in the Śaka year 939.
