(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 big assembly of Uttaramērūr-chaturvēdimaṅgalam. The following lands from among the lands of our village which, not paying any tax are (the common property) of the village, were given free of all taxes as long as the moon and the sun (last) for sacred lamps, sacred offerings and for worship of the god (perumāṉaḍigaḷ) Śrīla . . . of our village:—

(L. 3.) 470 kuḻi in the first śadukkam (situated) to the east of (the path called) Māṟapiḍugu-vadi of the fifth kaṇṇāṟu to the south of (the channel called) Śrīdēvivāykkāl; 552 kuḻi in the fifth śadukkam (situated) to the east of (the path called) Paramēśvara-vadi of the fourth kaṇṇāṟu to the north of the village; 452 kuḻi in the second śadukkam (situated) to the east of (the path called) Mārapiḍugu-vadi of the third kaṇṇāṟu to the south of (the channel called) Śrīdēvi-vāykkāl; in the same place 120 kuḻi in the first śadukkam (situated) to the east of the above-said vadi of the fifth kaṇṇāṟu; in all for the quarter land (kānilam) included herein we received pūrvāchāram from Śandiraṉ Eḻunūṟṟuvaṉ alias Nuḷamba Māyilaṭṭiyār of Kandapurattu-pēṭṭai and ordered these lands to be free from any kind of tax such as iṟai, echchōṟu, veṭṭi, amañji. Those who say ‘Let this perish’ shall incur the sins committed (by sinners living) between Gaṅgā (the Ganges) and Kumari (Cape Comorin).
