This is a record of the time of Parakēsarivarman Uttama-Chōḷa and registers a grant of land to Dayāparappērambalam built in the temple (?) at Tiruppāttuṟai. The assembly of Uttamaśīli-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, i.e., the present Uttamaśīli village in the Trichinopoly district, received the gift and made it taxfree. Dayāparappērambalam herein mentioned was probably the name of a hall where the village assembly used to meet.

Hail ! Prosperity ! In the . . . . year of (the reign of) king Parakēsarivarman alias the glorious Uttama-Chōḷa . . . . . . the glorious Uttamaśīlichaturvēdimaṅgalam (which was a) brahmadēya . . . . . . Vāsudēvaṉ and . . . . . . . the land purchased by these . . . .. . Having received (this) one mā and a half śēy of land which they had purchased (and which was) on the western side . . . . . the fifth pāḍagam belonging to Śandiraṉ Vishṇubhaṭṭaṉ and his group of śadukkam-owners,—as an ambalappuṟam (i.e., gift for the maintenance of an ambalam) to the (hall called) Dayāparappērambalam which they had built . . . in this village; and having received on hand the 5 five kāśu of taṭṭiṟai (derived) from this half kāṇi and (one) mundirigai of assessed land of the 8th taram (class),—ordered the said (land) of one mā and a half śēy to be tax-free, as long as the moon and the sun (endure); caused the deduction of taxes (to be entered) in the land register (nilamudal ?) and the tax register (pottagam) and had (the transaction) engraved on stone on the sacred central shrine (śrīvimāna) of (the temple at) Tiruppāttuṟai. Since this land is not liable to pay śeṉṉīrveṭṭi and all other taxes, if (any) tax is shown (against it), (the said persons) shall pay a fine of 50 kaḻañju of gold which the assembly would decide for being credited to the sacred feet (of the king). Even after paying the gold demanded in full (maṟaiyili), still we (the members) of the big assembly shall guard this land against (payment of) taxes.

Lines 4 and 5 are quite illegible and have, therefore, been omitted.
