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 ...

<p n="1">Hail! Prosperity! 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. Those who obstruct shall incur the sins committed by sinners <supplied reason="subaudible">living</supplied> between Gaṅgā (the Ganges) and Kumari (Cape Comorin). They <supplied reason="subaudible"><hi rend="italic">i.e.</hi>, the members of the assembly</supplied> shall not show any kind of tax, <foreign>eccōṟu</foreign>, <foreign>veṭṭi</foreign> and <foreign>amañci</foreign> against these lands. We <supplied reason="subaudible">the members</supplied> of the big assembly of Uttaramēru-caturvedimaṅkalam, thus made <supplied reason="subaudible">the lands</supplied> tax-free and had <supplied reason="subaudible">the edict</supplied> engraved on stone.
