Translation by Hultzsch 1890

Hail! Prosperity! In the fourth year of Ko-Parakesarivarman, we, the assembly (sabhā) of Kallaḍuppūr in Viṟappeḍu-nāḍu,² (a division) of Kāliyūr-koṭṭam, (made the following) written agreement. We have received from the hands of Ādidāsa Chaṇḍeśvara (at) Tiruvottūr in Taṉakūṟu (?), (a division) of this koṭṭam, eight and a half . . . . . of gold. According to the standard (āṇikkal) of Kachchippeḍu, we have received twenty kaṛañjus weight of gold. For these twenty kaṛañjus of gold, from (the month of) Tai of this year forward, . . . . . . . . . . we, the assembly of Kallaḍuppūr, shall measure and give paddy into the hands of the Śiva (i.e., Śaiva) Brāhmaṇas . . . . . . . . . . (From) the interest of these twenty kaṛañjus of gold, we, . . . the great people, who constitute the villageassembly of our village, shall measure and give every year ninety kāḍis³ of paddy, without breaking our promise (even) partially.

Primary

[SII] Hultzsch, Eugen Julius Theodor. 1890. South-Indian inscriptions, Tamil and Sanskrit, from stone and copper-plate edicts at Mamallapuram, Kanchipuram, in the North Arcot district, and other parts of the Madras Presidency, chiefly collected in 1886-87. Volume I. South Indian Inscriptions 1. Madras: Government Press. Pages 116–117, item 85.

Notes

1. Compare Kalleḍuppūr in No. 83, line 5.
2. Viṟappeḍu is probably meant for Vīra-pēḍu, “the town of Vīra,” or “the town of heroes.” Compare the names Vaṅgipp[u]ṟam in No. 72, Tirukkaṟṟaḷippuṟam in No. 84, and Tiruviṛāpuṟam in No. 146, where puṟam stands for puram, “a town.”
3. The same measure is mentioned in line 4 of the fragment No. 146.
