Hail! Prosperity! In the fourth year of the reign of king Parakesarivarman who deprived Vīra-Pāṇḍya of his head,—Cēṉai, who was the son of the cultivator Veḷḷāḷaṉ Cikkār-uṭaiyāṉ Puliyaṉ and who resided at Śivacūḷāmaṇimaṅgala, alias Śrī-Vikramābharaṇa-caturvedimaṅgala, a village in its own subdivision of Kāliyūr-kōṭṭam, assigned one paṭṭi of land in the neighbourhood, to last as long as the moon and the sun, for his own merit and for the meritorious purpose of supplying to the brahmasthāna in this village water during six months and fire-pans agniṣṭhā during six months and of constructing a water-lever in front of the cistern at the maṇḍapa.maṇṭakam is a Tamil corruption of maṇṭapam. It occurs in No. 7, line 2, and three times in the Kūram plates (Vol. I. No. 151, text lines 61 and 74).

The great men who manage the affairs of the village in each year, shall supervise this charity. Those who cause obstruction to this, shall incur all the sins committed between the Gaṅgā and Kanyā.Kanyā is the same as Kanyākumāri or, more commonly, Kumari, the Tamil name of Cape Comorin. Under these conditions, I, Cēṉai, assigned the land. He who obstructs this, shall be liable to pay a fine of twenty-five kaḻañcus of gold.

Prosperity! Fortune!
