In the 39th year of (the reign of) king Parakēsarivarman, who took Madirai (Madura) and Īḻam (Ceylon), we, the members of the assembly (paraḍai) of Karugāvūr near (pāl) Tirukkuḍamūkkil which was a dēvadāna in Vaḍagarai Pāmbūr-nāḍu (received) one quarter (of) Pāḻmuṭṭi (land) with a tank dug (in it) which Nakkaṉ Vikramābharaṇi, a palace maid-servant (peṇḍāṭṭi) of queen Villavaṉ-Mahādēviyār, had purchased from Vaikundaṉ Pāṇḍaṉ of Koṟṟaṅguḍi, one of the landlords of this village. Converting (the tank) into an iṟaikuḷam, we, the members of the assembly had this land cultivated (on the terms) two to oneHere is a reference evidently to a system of contract by which two shares of the produce were assigned to the landlord and one to the cultivator or vice versa. , obtaining in this village; charged the tax ofThe symbols used here for land measurement are not intelligible. If they are taken to denote 1/8th śey of land immediately after, we find the same 1/8th as explained represented by a different group of symbols lower down. . . . one-eighth śey to the village and charged (the tax on the remaining) one-eighth of this land to the members of the assembly and receiving in our hands this (5) five kaḻañju of gold for this land (from her), made this land tax-free as long as the moon and the sun (exist) and got (this deed) engraved on stone. If we fail (to act according to) this (decision), we, (the members) of the assembly ourselves shall pay a fine of 100 kaḻañju of gold and shall (also) cause to be paid a fine of 50 kaḻañju of gold by each of the persons who individually obstruct (this order). Even then (i.e., even after paying the fine) we, the members of the assembly, shall have this one-fourth śey engraved on stone as tax-free (land) imposing (the taxes of) this one-fourth śey of tax-free land on the village and paying the taxes ourselves. The sacred feet of those who protect this charity shall be on our heads. (The assembly of) all Māhēśvaras and the great men of all Māhēśvaras shall protect (this charity).The Māhēśvaras and Māhēśvarapperumakkaḷ may denote different bodies. The latter may be the lay disciples of the former.
