1. [In the tenth year (of the reign) of] Kō-Parakēsarivarman, alias the lord Śrī-Rājēndra-Chōḷa[dēva], who, etc.,The historical part of this inscription is identical with that of No. 10. the members of the assembly of Arumoṛidēvachaturvēdimaṅgalam in Puṟaṅgarambai-nāḍu, (a subdivision) of Arumoṛidēvavaḷanāḍu, (have received) from Chaṇḍēśvaradēva,—who is the first servant of the supreme lord, who has been pleased to take up gladly his abode in (the temple called) Śrī-Rājarājēśvara (at) Tañjāvūr,—two hundred and ninety-four kāśu out of the money, which the NiyāyamThe technical meaning of niyāyam (Sanskrit nyāya) is not apparent. Perhaps it stands for niyāśam (Sanskrit nyāsa), ‘a deposit, pledge, mortgage,’ and has to be translated by ‘dedicated (to the god).’ Śiṟudaṉattu Paṇimakkaḷ,—See page 95. note 2. who were attached to (the image of) Mahā-Mēru-Viṭaṅkar, which had been set up by the lord Śrī-Rājarājadēva, and to (the image of) his consort,—had deposited for the expenses required by these (images). And, out of the money, which the Niyāya[ṅgaḷi]lār,—who were attached to (the image of) Kalyāṇasundarar, which had been set up by Trailōkyamahādēvī, the consort of our lord Śrī-Rājarājadēva, and to (the image of) his consort,—had deposited for the expenses required by these (images), the Kēraḷāntaka-vāśal-tirumeykāpparLiterally, ‘the body-guard of the gate of Kēraḷāntaka.’ (have received) one hundred and eighteen kāśu; the Aṇukka-vāśal-tirumeykāppar eight kāśu; the Kēraḷāntakaterinda-parivārattārI.e., ‘the chosen retinue of Kēraḷāntaka.’ thirty-five kāśu; the Jananātha-terinda-parivārattār five kāśu; the Śiṅgaḷāntaka-terinda-parivārattār one kāśu; and the Parivāra-mey-kāppargaḷ of Teṉkarai-nāḍu three hundred and thirty-nine kāśu. Altogether, eight hundred kāśu) were received after (the harvest of) the paśāṉ) in the tenth year (of the king's reign).

2. For these eight hundred kāśu, (they) have to pay every year from (the harvest of) the paśāṉ in the tenth year (of the king's reign), as long as the moon and the sun endure, an interest of one hundred kāśu into the treasury of the lord of the Śrī-Rājarājēśvara (temple),—the rate of interest being one eighth kāśu per year for each kāśu.
