## Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

(Line 1.) Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 3rd year of
Pārthivēndrādhipativarman, who took the head of the Pāṇḍya (king), (this
is) the writing of us (the members) of the great assembly of
Uttaramēru-chaturvēdimaṅgalam in its own subdivision in Kāliyūrkōṭṭam.
The following are the lands given to the lord of (the temple of) the
glorious Vṛindāvana of our village for śrībali, sacred current expenses,
perpetual lamp and archchanābhōga:—

(L. 5.) 480 kuḻi of first rate (land) in the eleventh and twelfth
squares (śadukkam) (situated) to the east of (the path called)
Pallavanāraṇa-vadi in the fourth kaṇṇāṟu to the south of (the channel
called) Śrīdēvi-vāykkāl; 456 kuḻi of first rate (land) in the ninth
square (situated) to the east of (the path called) Pallavanāraṇa-vadi in
the fourth kaṇṇāṟu to the south of (the channel called) Śrīdēvi-vāykkāl;
. . . . .
