Translation

⟨1v1⟩ Success! Hail!

1v1–1v4.

There was in the lineage of the Pāṇḍavas, who are of flawless glory and possess great splendour, a king of Mekalā who was an ornament among kings and whose fame was widely known; who was illustrious and a disposer of fortune; who was decorated with a multitude of most excellent qualities; whose appearance was handsome; and who, by his own glorious deeds, was well-known in this world for all times as Jayabala!

1v4–1v6.

His son was victorious in battle, famous, and compassionate; equal to the king of Vatsa (i.e., Udayana), endowed with good qualities, and learned in ⟨religious⟩ rituals; and he made the gardens of the houses of his enemies crowded with wild beasts!

1v6–1v8.

He was generous and praised the good deeds ⟨of others⟩; was able to differentiate between virtues ⟨and vices⟩ and was serviceable to people; and was righteous and devoted to good policy: ⟨That⟩ king was the illustrious Vatsarāja!

⟨1v8–1v11⟩ His (i.e. Vatsarāja’s) son — who was favoured by him (i.e. his respected father), who was entirely devoted to Śiva, who was the foremost patron of brahmins, the distinguished one who was entirely devoted to his teacher/elders and deities – was the illustrious mahārāja Nāgabala, born from the illustrious queen Droṇabhaṭṭārikā.

1v11–2r1.

At the time of his (Nāgabala’s) march, the roads having been pounded down by the hoof-beats of his steeds, the earth darkens ⟨all⟩ the quarters, dust making every corner dry and dreary, ⟨but⟩ his elephants, with their temples soiled by the ichor, instantly restore serenity, having moistened it (the earth) with the spray (which they habitually emit from their trunks).

⟨2r1–2r3⟩ After him, his (i.e. Nāgabala’s) son – who was favoured by him (i.e. his respected father), who was entirely devoted to Śiva, who was the foremost patron of brahmins, the distinguished one who was entirely devoted to his teacher/elders and deities – was the illustrious mahārāja Bharata, born from the illustrious queen Indrabhaṭṭārikā.

2r4–2r5.

Like Kārttikeya to Śailendraputrī, to her (i.e. Indrabhaṭṭārikā) – who possessed the virtues of compassion and integrity, and who was fully endowed with generosity and amiability – was born a son, Indra, whose beauty was spotless and lovely.

2r5–2r9.

He (i.e. Bharatabala) is indeed Indra as he is the fire at birth from the kindle sticks, flaming with heat/valour and being possessed of oil/love; he who is one who gained the excellence of authority that was sustained by the counsel of Brahmans who observe good conduct; one whose sight inspires joy in ⟨the hearts of⟩ good people and brings to fruition the merit and wealth of the common men; one to whom offerings of riches are made on the altar ready for sacrifice, and who is always respected by worthy persons.

2r9–2r12.

By whom the regions were all covered with ⟨the bodies of⟩ numerous imposing and roaring enemies who were forcibly overthrown, like a large and excellent elephant of the quarters ⟨when he pulls down and tears apart the dense and lofty thundering⟩ trees; who is capable of such feats, that king establishes prosperity through good government throughout the world, ensuring abundant righteousness, wealth, and pleasure.

2r12–2r13.

The illustrious king Bharata, who was an ornament among kings and whose valour was equal to that of the king of gods (i.e., Indra); who bore the Fortune of the multitude of enemies slain ⟨by him⟩, when she fled into his arms for protection.

2r13–2v6.

Peerless, the chief queen of king Bharatabala, whose fame resembles the illustrious rays of the moon! She, being as it were the river Gaṅgā herself descended to earth from the world of the gods, who purifies the people, carrying the waters of her good character, bright and spotless like cristal, her pure stream contained within the two banks formed by self-control and good conduct, and her waves being a mass of virtues and tranquillity. She, being born in Kosalā and holding high the fame of the family descending from Amara, and being very much the Lustre of the World (Lokaprakāsā), by whom darkness has been counteracted by continuous meritorious acts, she has attained pre-eminence ⟨owing to⟩ her grandsons and great-grandsons, princes like lions, devoted to good policy and conduct.

2v6–2v9.

He who overcame all regions with his pair of feet, having the splendour of a full-blown lotus flower, that were touched by the heads of many feudatory chiefs paying homage to the threefold powers with which he was endowed: That illustrious king is Udīrṇavaira, whose numerous good qualities are unparalleled and whose birth is celebrated by people highly ⟨with the words⟩: The famous Lunar Race, belonging to the moon!

⟨2v9–2v11⟩ He (i.e., Śūrabala Udīrṇavaira) issues ⟨the following command⟩ to all the residents of the village of Varddhamānaka situated in the Pañchagarttā viṣaya of the Uttara rāṣṭra of Mekalā, headed by village headman (grāmakūṭa), tax officer (droṇāgraka), military officer (nāyaka), superintendent of the temple (devavārika), and minting officer (gaṇḍaka):

⟨2v11–3r2⟩ Let it be known to you that for the increase of religious merit of father, mother, and ourselves, this village extending to its four boundaries has been granted by the highly honoured king to the Mādhyandina Yajurvedin Lohitasarasvāmin of the Vatsa gotra. ⟨The grant of the village comes⟩ along with ⟨the right to⟩ tax on permanent and temporary tenants, ⟨the right⟩ not to be entered by irregular or regular troops, and ⟨the right to⟩ hidden treasures and deposits, with the exception of the fines imposed on thieves, and is to be enjoyed as long as the moon, the sun, the earth, and the stars will endure.

⟨3r2–3r5⟩ Knowing this, ⟨you⟩ should be obedient to the orders received ⟨from the donee and render⟩ the proper ⟨shares of⟩ periodical offerings and produce. This grant ⟨was issued⟩ by my own order and those kings who will be born in our family should also protect it and consent to it! And whoever will cause the obstruction of ⟨the enjoyment of⟩ this gift, he will bring upon himself ⟨the guilt of⟩ the five great sins!

3r5–3r6.

The earth has been enjoyed by many kings, beginning with Sagara: Whoever possesses the land at any time, to him belong the fruits at that time!

3r6–3r7.

A giver of land dwells in heaven for sixty thousand years; he who confiscates it or allows ⟨another to confiscate it⟩ will dwell for the same period in hell!

3r7–3r8.

O Yudhiṣṭhira, zealously protect the land which was given by yourself or by others! O best of kings, protection is superior to giving!

⟨3r9–3r11⟩ This charter has been completed in the year two of the increasingly victorious reign (i.e., of Śūrabala Udīrṇavaira), on the thirteenth ⟨day⟩ of the dark ⟨fortnight⟩ of the month of Bhādrapada, when the nakṣatra was Puṣya; and this charter has been written by Śiva, son of the private secretary (rāhasika) Īśāna; and has been engraved by Mihiraka, son of the goldsmith (suvarṇakāra) Īśvara.

Commentary

There is no trace of any emblem or legend on the seal that belongs to this charter, but it is possible that these were originally present and have been worn away over time.

The phrase ekaiva at the end of line 2r13 refers to bharatabalanṛpasyottamā rājapatnī in line 2v3, who is introduced in the two verses following ekaiva.

<ab n="1v1">Success! Hail!</ab>

There was in the lineage of the Pāṇḍavas, who are of flawless glory and possess great splendour, a king of Mekalā who was an ornament among kings and whose fame was widely known; who was illustrious and a disposer of fortune; who was decorated with a multitude of most excellent qualities; whose appearance was handsome; and who, by his own glorious deeds, was well-known in this world for all times as Jayabala!

His son was victorious in battle, famous, and compassionate; equal to the king of Vatsa <supplied reason="explanation">i.e., Udayana</supplied>, endowed with good qualities, and learned in <supplied reason="subaudible">religious</supplied> rituals; and he made the gardens of the houses of his enemies crowded with wild beasts!

He was generous and praised the good deeds <supplied reason="subaudible">of others</supplied>; was able to differentiate between virtues <supplied reason="subaudible">and vices</supplied> and was serviceable to people; and was righteous and devoted to good policy: <supplied reason="subaudible">That</supplied> king was the illustrious Vatsarāja!

His <supplied reason="explanation">i.e. Vatsarāja’s</supplied> son — who was favoured by him <supplied reason="explanation">i.e. his respected father</supplied>, who was entirely devoted to Śiva, who was the foremost patron of brahmins, the distinguished one who was entirely devoted to his teacher/elders and deities – was the illustrious mahārāja Nāgabala, born from the illustrious queen Droṇabhaṭṭārikā.

At the time of his <supplied reason="explanation">Nāgabala’s</supplied> march, the roads having been pounded down by the hoof-beats of his steeds, the earth darkens <supplied reason="subaudible">all</supplied> the quarters, dust making every corner dry and dreary, <supplied reason="subaudible">but</supplied> his elephants, with their temples soiled by the ichor, instantly restore serenity, having moistened it <supplied reason="explanation">the earth</supplied> with the spray <supplied reason="explanation">which they habitually emit from their trunks</supplied>.

After him, his <supplied reason="explanation">i.e. Nāgabala’s</supplied> son – who was favoured by him <supplied reason="explanation">i.e. his respected father</supplied>, who was entirely devoted to Śiva, who was the foremost patron of brahmins, the distinguished one who was entirely devoted to his teacher/elders and deities – was the illustrious mahārāja Bharata, born from the illustrious queen Indrabhaṭṭārikā.

Like Kārttikeya to Śailendraputrī, to her <supplied reason="explanation">i.e. Indrabhaṭṭārikā</supplied> – who possessed the virtues of compassion and integrity, and who was fully endowed with generosity and amiability – was born a son, Indra, whose beauty was spotless and lovely.

He <supplied reason="explanation">i.e. Bharatabala</supplied> is indeed Indra as he is the fire at birth from the kindle sticks, flaming with heat/valour and being possessed of oil/love; he who is one who gained the excellence of authority that was sustained by the counsel of Brahmans who observe good conduct; one whose sight inspires joy in <supplied reason="subaudible">the hearts of</supplied> good people and brings to fruition the merit and wealth of the common men; one to whom offerings of riches are made on the altar ready for sacrifice, and who is always respected by worthy persons.

By whom the regions were all covered with <supplied reason="subaudible">the bodies of</supplied> numerous imposing and roaring enemies who were forcibly overthrown, like a large and excellent elephant of the quarters <supplied reason="subaudible">when he pulls down and tears apart the dense and lofty thundering</supplied> trees; who is capable of such feats, that king establishes prosperity through good government throughout the world, ensuring abundant righteousness, wealth, and pleasure.

The illustrious king Bharata, who was an ornament among kings and whose valour was equal to that of the king of gods <supplied reason="explanation">i.e., Indra</supplied>; who bore the Fortune of the multitude of enemies slain <supplied reason="subaudible">by him</supplied>, when she fled into his arms for protection.

Peerless, the chief queen of king Bharatabala, whose fame resembles the illustrious rays of the moon! She, being as it were the river Gaṅgā herself descended to earth from the world of the gods, who purifies the people, carrying the waters of her good character, bright and spotless like cristal, her pure stream contained within the two banks formed by self-control and good conduct, and her waves being a mass of virtues and tranquillity. She, being born in Kosalā and holding high the fame of the family descending from Amara, and being very much the Lustre of the World <supplied reason="explanation">Lokaprakāsā</supplied>, by whom darkness has been counteracted by continuous meritorious acts, she has attained pre-eminence <supplied reason="subaudible">owing to</supplied> her grandsons and great-grandsons, princes like lions, devoted to good policy and conduct.

He who overcame all regions with his pair of feet, having the splendour of a full-blown lotus flower, that were touched by the heads of many feudatory chiefs paying homage to the threefold powers with which he was endowed: That illustrious king is Udīrṇavaira, whose numerous good qualities are unparalleled and whose birth is celebrated by people highly <supplied reason="subaudible">with the words</supplied>: The famous Lunar Race, belonging to the moon!

He <supplied reason="explanation">i.e., Śūrabala Udīrṇavaira</supplied> issues <supplied reason="subaudible">the following command</supplied> to all the residents of the village of Varddhamānaka situated in the Pañchagarttā <foreign>viṣaya</foreign> of the Uttara <foreign>rāṣṭra</foreign> of Mekalā, headed by village headman <supplied reason="explanation"><foreign>grāmakūṭa</foreign></supplied>, tax officer <supplied reason="explanation"><foreign>droṇāgraka</foreign></supplied>, military officer <supplied reason="explanation"><foreign>nāyaka</foreign></supplied>, superintendent of the temple <supplied reason="explanation"><foreign>devavārika</foreign></supplied>, and minting officer <supplied reason="explanation"><foreign>gaṇḍaka</foreign></supplied>:

Let it be known to you that for the increase of religious merit of father, mother, and ourselves, this village extending to its four boundaries has been granted by the highly honoured king to the Mādhyandina Yajurvedin Lohitasarasvāmin of the Vatsa <foreign>gotra</foreign>. <supplied reason="subaudible">The grant of the village comes</supplied> along with <supplied reason="subaudible">the right to</supplied> tax on permanent and temporary tenants, <supplied reason="subaudible">the right</supplied> not to be entered by irregular or regular troops, and <supplied reason="subaudible">the right to</supplied> hidden treasures and deposits, with the exception of the fines imposed on thieves, and is to be enjoyed as long as the moon, the sun, the earth, and the stars will endure.

Knowing this, <supplied reason="subaudible">you</supplied> should be obedient to the orders received <supplied reason="subaudible">from the donee and render</supplied> the proper <supplied reason="subaudible">shares of</supplied> periodical offerings and produce. This grant <supplied reason="subaudible">was issued</supplied> by my own order and those kings who will be born in our family should also protect it and consent to it! And whoever will cause the obstruction of <supplied reason="subaudible">the enjoyment of</supplied> this gift, he will bring upon himself <supplied reason="subaudible">the guilt of</supplied> the five great sins!

The earth has been enjoyed by many kings, beginning with Sagara: Whoever possesses the land at any time, to him belong the fruits at that time!

A giver of land dwells in heaven for sixty thousand years; he who confiscates it or allows <supplied reason="subaudible">another to confiscate it</supplied> will dwell for the same period in hell!

O Yudhiṣṭhira, zealously protect the land which was given by yourself or by others! O best of kings, protection is superior to giving!

This charter has been completed in the year two of the increasingly victorious reign <supplied reason="explanation">i.e., of Śūrabala Udīrṇavaira</supplied>, on the thirteenth <supplied reason="subaudible">day</supplied> of the dark <supplied reason="subaudible">fortnight</supplied> of the month of Bhādrapada, when the <foreign>nakṣatra</foreign> was Puṣya; and this charter has been written by Śiva, son of the private secretary <supplied reason="explanation"><foreign>rāhasika</foreign></supplied> Īśāna; and has been engraved by Mihiraka, son of the goldsmith <supplied reason="explanation"><foreign>suvarṇakāra</foreign></supplied> Īśvara.</div>

There is no trace of any emblem or legend on the seal that belongs to this charter, but it is possible that these were originally present and have been worn away over time.

The phrase <foreign>ekaiva</foreign> at the end of line 2r13 refers to <foreign>bharatabalanṛpasyottamā rājapatnī</foreign> in line 2v3, who is introduced in the two verses following <foreign>ekaiva</foreign>.
