Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

⟨1⟩ Hail! Prosperity! In the 12th year and 326th day of [the reign of] king Pārthivendrādhipativarman, queen, Tribhuvana-Mahādeviyār, purchased from the ryots of Uttaramēru-caturvedimaṅkalam and gave the following lands for sounding [drums] at the śrībali [ceremony] to the god [in the temple] of Śrīveli-Vishṇugr̥ha which Koṅgaraiyar had constructed in this village:—

⟨2⟩ 810 [kuḻis] in the first catukkam [situated] to the west of [the path called] Uttaramēru-vati of the fifth kaṇṇāṟu to the south of [the channel called] Subrahmaṇya-vāykkāl; 120 [kuḻis] of the second catukkam in the same place; 760 [kuḻis] in the third catukkam in the same place; 240 [kuḻis] in the fourth catukkam in the same place; 453 [kuḻis] in the third catukkam of the 4th kaṇṇāṟu in the same place; and 112 [kuḻis] in the fourth catukkam in the same place. For [these] 2,495 kuḻis in all, we [the members] of the big assembly of Uttaramēru-caturvedimaṅkalam, having received pūrvācāram from queen Tribhuvana-Mahādeviyār, deducted the taxes as long the moon and the sun [last], and ordered [the lands] to be tax-free. In order to sound [drums] at the three sandhis of the day [i.e., morning, midday and evening] during the śrībali [ceremony] and at the waking up [of the image] from bed, out of [the income accruing from] these lands, we gave [these lands] as śrībalipuṟam, freed from [the payment of] taxes and had [this edict] engraved on stone.

⟨7⟩ The śraddhāmantas shall themselves impose a fine of twenty-five kaḻañcus of gold on each person who obstructs this charity. [Even after] paying this fine, they shall not obstruct this charity. Those who obstruct shall incur the sins committed by sinners [living] between Gaṅgā (the Ganges) and Kumari (Cape Comorin). They [i.e., the members of the assembly] shall not show any kind of tax, eccōṟu, veṭṭi and amañci against these lands. We [the members] of the big assembly of Uttaramēru-caturvedimaṅkalam, thus made [the lands] tax-free and had [the edict] engraved on stone. I, Śivadāsaṉ Aiyāyirattirunūṟṟuva-Brahmapriyaṉ, an arbitrator (madhyasthaṉ) of this village, and one of the [members of the] assembly, wrote this at the command [of the assembly]. Prosperity !

Translation

⟨1⟩ Prosperity! Fortune!

⟨1⟩ [Day] 326 in the year 12 of the king Pārthivendrādhipativarman.

⟨1–3⟩ For the beating [at the time of] ..., the lands that Tribhuvanamahādevi, his queen, has given, after buying them from the ryots of this village [are] these, [as follows].

⟨3–5⟩ So that there be (āka)

⟨5–7⟩ These lands ... We have given ...

In the 12th year and 326th day of <supplied reason="subaudible">the reign of</supplied> king Pārthivendrādhipativarman, queen, Tribhuvana-Mahādeviyār, purchased from the ryots of Uttaramēru-caturvedimaṅkalam and gave the following lands for sounding <supplied reason="subaudible">drums</supplied> at the <foreign>śrībali</foreign> <supplied reason="subaudible">ceremony</supplied> to the god <supplied reason="subaudible">in the temple</supplied> of Śrīveli-Vishṇugr̥ha which Koṅgaraiyar had constructed in this village:—</p>

<p n="2">810 <supplied reason="subaudible"><foreign>kuḻi</foreign>s</supplied> in the first <foreign>catukkam</foreign> <supplied reason="subaudible">situated</supplied> to the west of <supplied reason="subaudible">the path called</supplied> Uttaramēru-vati of the fifth <foreign>kaṇṇāṟu</foreign> to the south of <supplied reason="subaudible">the channel called</supplied> Subrahmaṇya-vāykkāl; 120 <supplied reason="subaudible"><foreign>kuḻi</foreign>s</supplied> of the second <foreign>catukkam</foreign> in the same place; 760 <supplied reason="subaudible"><foreign>kuḻi</foreign>s</supplied> in the third <foreign>catukkam</foreign> in the same place; 240 <supplied reason="subaudible"><foreign>kuḻi</foreign>s</supplied> in the fourth <foreign>catukkam</foreign> in the same place; 453 <supplied reason="subaudible"><foreign>kuḻi</foreign>s</supplied> in the third <foreign>catukkam</foreign> of the 4th <foreign>kaṇṇāṟu</foreign> in the same place; and 112 <supplied reason="subaudible"><foreign>kuḻi</foreign>s</supplied> in the fourth <foreign>catukkam</foreign> in the same place. For <supplied reason="subaudible">these</supplied> 2,495 <foreign>kuḻi</foreign>s in all, we <supplied reason="subaudible">the members</supplied> of the big assembly of Uttaramēru-caturvedimaṅkalam, having received <foreign>pūrvācāram</foreign> from queen Tribhuvana-Mahādeviyār, deducted the taxes as long the moon and the sun <supplied reason="subaudible">last</supplied>, and ordered <supplied reason="subaudible">the lands</supplied> to be tax-free. In order to sound <supplied reason="subaudible">drums</supplied> at the three <foreign>sandhi</foreign>s of the day <supplied reason="subaudible"><hi rend="italic">i.e.</hi>, morning, midday and evening</supplied> during the <foreign>śrībali</foreign> <supplied reason="subaudible">ceremony</supplied> and at the waking up <supplied reason="subaudible">of the image</supplied> from bed, out of <supplied reason="subaudible">the income accruing from</supplied> these lands, we gave <supplied reason="subaudible">these lands</supplied> as <foreign>śrībalipuṟam</foreign>, freed from <supplied reason="subaudible">the payment of</supplied> taxes and had <supplied reason="subaudible">this edict</supplied> engraved on stone.</p>

<p n="7">The <foreign>śraddhāmanta</foreign>s shall themselves impose a fine of twenty-five <foreign>kaḻañcu</foreign>s of gold on each person who obstructs this charity. <supplied reason="subaudible">Even after</supplied> paying this fine, they shall not obstruct this charity.
