Paivayaka (fl. 1060 A.D.) is mentioned as assisting the completion of the Ambarnāth temple, according to the “Ambarnāth temple inscription of Māṃvāṇirāja”.

This inscription (mentioning Paivayaka) is engraved on a stone girder of the temple at Ambarnāth, about 7.24 km. south-east of Kalyāṇ in the Ṭhāṇā District. It is dated Śaka 982, ninth tithi of the bright fortnight of Śrāvaṇa. The object of the inscription seems to be that the temple of Ambarnāth, which had been commenced by Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Chittarājadeva was completed by some royal officers during the reign of Māṃvāṇirāja.
