⟨1⟩ -pādānuddhyāto • F corrects to -pādānudhyāto.

⟨2⟩ śālaṅkay(ā)no ⬦ śālaṅkāyano F • If the inscription actually has śālaṅkayano then we are dealing with a mistake of the scribe for the expected śālaṅkāyano. But the apparent absence of -ā might also be an artifact of deficient visual documentation.

⟨2-3⟩ mahārājācaṇḍavarmmaṇas • F emends to mahārāja-caṇḍavarmmaṇas. But the text is correct as it stands, for the name of the king is Acaṇḍavarman (see Sircar [1970] 1965–1966, p. 3).

⟨3⟩ ku(drā)hāra- ⬦ kuḍu(?)hāra- F • The reading is unclear, possibly due to deficiency of the visual documentation, but is confirmed by EIAD 167, line 7.

Translation by Emmanuel Francis and Arlo Griffiths

(1–4) Hail! From the victorious Veṅgīpura, the great king, the illustrious and victorious (śrī-vijaya) Nandivarman, blessed by the feet of the Lord Citrarathasvāmin, devotee of the feet of Bappabhaṭṭāraka, devout worshiper of the Lord, the Śālaṅkāyana, eldest son of the great king Acaṇḍavarman, gives an order to the villagers with their headman (mutuḍa), in the village Videtūrapallikā, in the Kuḍuhāra district:

(4–7) “By us, for the purpose of increasing the merit (dharma), fame, beauty and renown of our family and gotra, this village has been given to these hundred and fifty-seven Brahmins, studying various schools and belonging to various gotras, residents of the Kuravaka and Śrīvara agrahāras.

(7–9) Having understood this, governors, appointees/officers, courtiers/those dear to [us], and royal servants, should exempt it from all taxes and protect it.

(9–10) A charter was given on the eighth of the waning fortnight of the month Pauṣya of the seventh year of [his] prosperous and victorious reign.

The executor (ājñapti) was the freeholder (bhojaka) of Mūlakura.”

I

By numerous [kings], land has been given; and by many it has been protected. Whoever holds land at a given moment, to him does the fruit then belong.

II

The giver of land revels sixty thousand years in heaven; the one who confiscates [land] as well as the one who agrees [to the confiscation] will reside as many [years] in hell.

Commentary

The name of the village with which the grant has become associated in scholarship was so far generally misread as Vidēnūrapallikā; the correct reading, already observed by Nilakanta Sastri and Gopalachari 1937–1938, p. 281, is Vidētūrapallikā.

(6) -śrīvarāgrāhāra-. Compare this occurrence of agrāhāra (rather than agrahāra) with Ghosh 2015, p. 8 (on Bagh copper-plate inscriptions).
