At the request of Kāliṅgarāyaṉ the king is stated to have issued this order while he was seated in the paḷḷikkaṭṭil called Pāṇḍiyaṉ in the hall Aḷagiyapāṇḍiyaṉ in the inner precincts of the palace at Madurai. An officer named Parākramapāṇḍiya-Uttaramantri figures in the record and so a certain Parākrama-Pāṇḍya must have been a predecessor or at least a contemporary of this Śrīvallabhadēva. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ## Edition ⟨1⟩ svasti śrī [∥] tirumaṭantaiyuñjayamaṭa⟨2⟩n=taiyun tiruppuyaṅkaḷi ṉiṉitiruppa Iruni ⟨3⟩ lamum perumai ye⟨y⟩ta veṇṭicaiyuṅ ku⟨4⟩ṭainiḻaṟṟa maṉṉavarellām van=tiṟaiñca varu⟨5⟩marapil muṭicūṭi teṉ{ṅ}kumariyum vaṭakeṅkaiyu⟨6⟩n=tiraikkaṭalume yellaiyākap pārmuḻutuṅ kayalā⟨7⟩ṇai parantu ceṅkoluṭaṉ vaḷara maṉṉiya virasiṁhāsaṉat⟨8⟩tu Ulakamuḻutuṭaiyāroṭum viṟṟiruntaruḷiya māmutal mati⟨9⟩kkulam viḷakkiya komutaṟk koccaṭaiyapanmarāṉa tribhuvaṉa⟨10⟩ccakravattikaḷ śrīvallabhadevaṟkku yāṇṭu pattāvatu nāḷiru⟨11⟩nūṟṟaiñciṉāl māṭakkuḷakkiḻ maturai yuḷḷālai Aḻaki⟨12⟩ya pāṇṭiyaṉ kūṭattiṟ paḷḷikkaṭṭil pāṇṭiyaṉi leḻunta⟨13⟩ruḷiyiruntu ceyyat tiruvāy moḻintaruḷiṉapaṭi [|] keraḷaciṅ⟨14⟩kavaḷanāṭṭu brahmadeyan tirupputtūrt tiruttaḷi mahā⌈⟨15⟩de vaṟkkut tiruppaṭimāṟ ṟuḷḷiṭṭ¿a?⟨u⟩ veṇṭu nimantaṅkaḷukku I⟨16⟩ṟuppatāka Iṉṉāṭṭu maṇṇāṇimaṅkalamāṉa meṟtiru⟨17⟩maṅkalam māṭai patiṉeḻaraiye Orumāvum kiḻmuḷ⟨18⟩ḷivayal māṭai Irupattaiñce mukkāle muṉṟumā⟨19⟩vum Āka māṭai nāṟpattu muṉṟe yoṉpatu māvum⟨20⟩yāṇṭu pattāvatu mutal devadāṉam Iṟaiyiliyā⟨y⟩ ⟨21⟩ Iṟuppatākap peṟaveṇṭumeṉṟu kāliṅkarāya⟨22⟩ṉ namakkuc coṉṉamaiyil keraḷaciṅkavaḷanāṭṭu bra⟨23⟩hmadeyan tirupputtūrt tiruttaḷi mahātevaṟkkut tiruppa⟨24⟩ṭimāṟ ṟuḷḷiṭṭu veṇṭu nimantaṅkaḷukku Iṟuppa⟨25⟩tāka Iṉṉāṭṭu maṇṇāṇimaṅkalamā⟨26⟩ṉa meṟttirumaṅkala māḷaṭa patiṉeḻa⌈⟨27⟩raiye yorumāvum kiḻmuḷḷivayal māṭai ⟨28⟩ Irupattaiñce mukkāle muṉṟumāvum Āka ⟨29⟩ māṭaiya nāṟppattu muṉṟeyoṉ{m}patu⟨30⟩māvum yāṇṭu pattāvutu mutal Iṟaiyiliyākak kuṭu⟨31⟩ttomeṉṟu tiruvāymoḻintaruḷinār [|] Ivai parā ⟨32⟩ kramapāṇṭiya Utta{manti}ramantiri yeḻuttiṉāl muṭittu ⟨33⟩ Ivvūrkaḷukkup perunāṉṅkellai kiḻellai Āṟṟu⟨34⟩kku meṟkkum teṉṉellai cuvaramaṅkalattukkum po⟨35⟩ttikuṭik kaṟkuḷattukkum peruṅkuḷattukkum vaṭak⟨36⟩kum mele⟨l⟩lai melmuḷḷi vayalukkum tulaiyāni⟨37⟩lai vayakkal varampu vaṭakku nokkippoṉa cev⌈⟨38⟩vaikkuk kiḻakkum vaṭavellai miṟai vayalukkum U⟨39⟩ḷaikkuṭikkum Āṟṟukkut teṟkum Āka Illi⌈⟨40⟩caitta perunāṉa(ṅ)kellaik kakappaṭṭa Ivvūrira⟨41⟩ṇṭum vaḷaiyiṟ{c} cuṟṟumuṟṟum Uṇṇila ⌈⟨42⟩moḻiviṉṟi tiruttaḷi mahādevaṟkku Iṟaiyili⟨43⟩yākak kuṭuttom [.]e ## Commentary ⟨43⟩ kuṭuttom [.]e.
