## Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

(Line 1.) Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 3rd year of (the reign of)
Pārthivēndrādhipativarman, who took the head of Vīra-Pāṇḍya, (this is)
the writing of us (the members) of the great assembly of
Uttaramēlūr-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, (a village) in its own subdivision in
Kāliyūr-kōṭṭam. (The following are) the lands which were given to the
god (perumānaḍigaḷ) of Tiruppulivalam of our village for archchanābhōga
and the sacred current expenses:—

(L. 2.) two hundred and ten kuḻi in the first śadukkam (situated) west
of (the path called) Paramēśvara-vadi of the tenth kaṇṇāṟu north of the
village; 380 kuḻi of first rate (land) in the fourth śadukkam (situated)
east of (the channel) Vilakku-vāykkāl of the third kaṇṇāṟu north of (the
channel) Śrīdēvi-vāykkāl; in the same place, 480 kuḻi of first rate
(land) in the second śadukkam (situated) east of Vilakku-vāykkāl of the
third kaṇṇāṟu; 720 kuḻi of first rate (land) in the fifth śadukkam
(situated) east of (the path called) Mālpiḍugu-vadi of the fifteenth
kaṇṇāṟu north of (the lane called) Subrahmaṇyanārāśam; 370 kuḻi of third
rate (land) in the fifth śadukkam (situated) west of (the path called)
Tirunāraṇa-vadi in the seventh kaṇṇāṟu south of (the channel ?)

second śadukkam of the eighth kaṇṇāṟu; 1,070 (kuli) of second rate
