Translation by Samana Gururaja

(1–6) May it be well, as the victorious sun of the kingdom of Akālavarṣa — beloved of the earth, king of kings, supreme lord, most venerated — was attaining greater and greater heights as long as the moon and sun exist, when one sustained by his lotus feet, the king Tailapa — one who had obtained the five great sounds, chief of mahāsāmantas, Rāma to the Cāḷukya family, […] descendent of Raghu — was ruling Tardavāḍi 1000 as a fief given to him for his maintenance by the king

(6–15) When the raktākṣi samvatsara of the śaka year 886 was ongoing, in the Phālguṇa month during that year, on the solar eclipse, the eminent Tailapa… the unblemished of the Khācara family[…] dependents[…] of those included in the Murttage 30 […] four constables[…] five gold gadyāṇa village headman gadyāṇa five[…] these payment having appeared as the trivial tax to be paid[…] became[…] for those who don’t even have one […]gadyāṇa[…] the groom in charge of horses and elephants[…] cooked rice[…] one māna of clarified butter[…] two[…] the cooked rice for the deity[…]

(15–16) From now on this state of affairs will not be violated. He who violates it is one who has committed the five great offenses, and has destroyed brown cows, women, and twelve vedic scholars at vāraṇāsi on winter solstice.

(17–18) Whether given by oneself or another, he who robs/destroys that which is another’s, for sixty thousand years he will be born as a worm in excrement.

(19–20) Many kings like Sāgara have enjoyed this land. Whosoever possesses it at a given time, the fruits are his at that time.
