Translation by Hultzsch 1890

Hail! From the month of Āḍi of the Viśvādi2 year, which was current after the Śaka year one thousand two hundred and eighty-six (had passed), while the illustrious mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, the conqueror of hostile kings, the destroyer of those kings who break their word, the lord of the eastern and western oceans, Kambaṇa-uḍaiyar, the son of the illustrious Vīra, was pleased to rule the earth,—the illustrious Koppaṇṇaṅgaḷ (addresses the following) order to the authorities of the temple of the lord Rājasiṁhavarmeśvaram-uḍaiyār, alias Eḍudattu-āyiram-uḍaiya-nāyaṉār, at Kāñchipuram. Whereas all the houses and the gardens (attached to) the houses in the northern row of the saṁnidhi street,— excluding the maṭha of Āṇḍār Sundara-Perumāḷ, which exists (from) old times, (and excluding) the house, which is to the east of the temple of the lord Tiru-Agastyeśvara and to the west of the great road of the sacred bath (tiru-mañjaṉa-peru-vaṛi),—were sold at a price (fixed in the presence of the god) Chaṇḍeśvara to the Mudalis, to be (their) property, from this day forward, for ever, against (payment of) pa. 150, (i.e.) one hundred and fifty paṇas, which were previously received from these (Mudalis) and deposited in the templetreasury,—these houses, gardens (attached to) the houses . . . . . . . . . . may be sold or mortgaged by them . . . . . . . . . This (order) shall be engraved on stone and copper, in order that it may last from this day forward, as long as the moon and the sun. This is the signature of Koppaṇaṉ.

This we have engraved on stone and given. This is the signature of Kambāṇḍāṉ. This is the signature of Śīyaṉ (i.e., Siṁha), who made the closing (of the temple) cease. This is the signature of Kāṭṭukkuṟivaippaṉ Vīra-Śamba-Brahmā-rāyaṉ, the devakarmin (i.e., pujārī) of this temple. This is the signature of Viḍaṅga-bhaṭṭa, who lives at Kāñchikkuṟipāram (?). This is the signature of Nāṟpatteṇṇāyirakkālāṉ. This is the signature of Irāguttarāyakkālāṉ. This is the signature of Uttaraṉmerūruḍaiyāṉ Tiruvegamba-veḷāṉ Āditya-deva, the accountant (kaṇakku) of this temple.
