Translation

...

⟨56–58⟩ Furthermore, having said “the lotus-feet of he who protects this are on my head”, having graciously ordered ⟨so⟩, the king (koṟṟavaṉ) made this copper order, as ascertainment (teṟṟu/tēṟṟu).

⟨58–59⟩ Furthermore, ...

Apart from protecting a brahmadeya,

There is no other means of attaining dharma on this earth;

And, likewise, apart from seizing it,

There is not other means of obtaining sin on this earth.

Other than protecting the property of Brahmins,

There is no source of merit;

Other than infringing it,

There is no source of sin.

Earth has been given by many

Kings such as Sagara and others;

To whom the land is then,

To him the fruit then.

Handwriting of Arikēcari,² son of Pāṇṭi Perum Paṇaikkā(ra)ṉ.
