He was the author of a large number of essays in Oriya which deal with sociological and philosophical topics. These have been published under the title of Prabandha sopana. He is also the author of Tarkabignana and Samajika prabandha. In short and measured sentences he conveys profound ideas and is sometimes called the Bacon of Oriya literature. The collection of his essays is a store-house of wisdom and is as such unique in Oriya literature.
