One among monuments of Sri Madhvacharya’s time, is Bhimanabande, near Kalaseshvara temple, Kalasa, , Chikkamagaluru district. M.V Chapter 16, shl 8-9 describe this event in Acharya’s life on his tour of adjacent areas of Udupi. It is describ

निन्ये तां गिरिमिव वानरीकृतात्मा 

लीलावत् करकमलेन कोमलेन ||

 तत्तुन्गां  ननु निकषाधुनापि कर्म 

local people in the place expressed their helplessness in making a bathing ghat in Tunga-Bhadra, Acharya lifted a huge rock and placed across to control rushing waters. After 850 years, river Bhadra has changed her flow, but we see this rock with a writing “ श्रीमन् मध्वचार्यैः  एकहस्तेन  आनीता शिला ”. This  with an image of Acharya roughly engraved on it.  This is near Horanadu- Kalasa region.
