Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 24th year of (the reign of) king
Parakēsarivarman, who took Madirai (Madura), Nakkaṉ Śandirādēvi
(attached to the temple) of Jayabhīmataḷi at Tañjāvūr gave in the
presence of king Parakēsarivarman for burning regularly with (one)
uḻakku of oil (one) perpetual lamp placed (by her) in (the temple of)
Mahādēva (Śiva) at Tirukkarugāvūr, two mā of land to the south of the
field for sacred lamp granted by Āvūr-nāṭṭu Vēḷār at Vaḍavūr-Veṇgāḍu,
two mā (of land) to the west of this (land), the mound to the south of
(the channel called) Uḷvāykkāl and the enclosed field of the mound which
has been made cultivable. Receiving all these lands, one perpetual lamp
shall be burnt as long as the moon and the sun (last). (The assembly of)
all Māhēśvaras shall protect this (charity).
