Translation by Hultzsch 1900–1901

Seal

⟨1⟩ (The seal) of the Mahārāja, the glorious Jayavarman, who belongs to the gotra of the Br̥hatphalāyanas.

Plates

(First plate, first side.) (Order referring) to the brahmadeya Pāṇṭūra in Kūdūrāhāra, (granted) to 8 people, to Brāhmaṇas, to the mahājanas (headed by) Savagutaja.

⟨1–6⟩ (From the camp of victory, the town Kūdūraa, — the fortunate king, the glorious Jayavarman, who is favoured by the feet of Maheśvara (and) who belongs to the gotra of the Br̥hatphalāyanas, orders (his) official (vyāpr̥ta) at Kūdūraa (as follows): —

⟨7–24⟩ “For conferring on ourselves victory (in war) and for increasing (our) length of life, we have now given the village Pāṇṭūra in the district of Kūdūraa (Kūdūrāhāra) (as) a brahmadeya, assigning 24 shares to 8 people, (viz.) to (the following) Brāhmaṇas:

to Savagutaja (Śarvaguptārya), a householder of the Gautama gotra, 8 (shares);
to Sagivija of the Tānavya (gotra) 3 shares;
to Goginaja 3 shares;
to Bhavannaja of the Kauṇḍinya gotra two — 2 — shares;
to Rudavennhuja (Rudraviṣṇvārya) of the Bhāradvāja (gotra) one and a half share;
to Īsaradataja (Īśvaradattārya) of the Kārṣṇāyana (gotra) one and a half share;
to Rudaghosaja {Rudraghoṣārya) of the Aupamanyava (gotra) 1 share;
and to Khandarudaja (Skandarudrārya) of the Kauśika gotra half a share.

⟨25–27⟩ “Parcel off that village Pāṇṭūra from this (district), having made (it) a brahmadeya.

⟨28–30⟩ “And to this village Pāṇṭūra we grant (all) immunities, having made (it) a brahmadeya.

⟨31–34⟩ “(Let it be) free from being entered, free from being meddled with, free from diggings for salt, araṭhasaṁvinayika, and endowed with immunities of all kinds.

⟨35⟩ “Exempt (it) with (all) these immunities.

⟨36–37⟩ “And having made this village Pāṇṭūra a brahmadeya, cause a charter to be drawn ups to this effect.”

⟨38⟩ The order was issued by word of mouth.

⟨39⟩ (The charter) was signed by (the king) himself. Fortune, wealth, power and victory were given (by the donees to the king as a reward for the grant).

⟨40⟩ (This) set of plates was prepared on the 1st day of the 1st fortnight of winter of the 10th year by the Mahādaṇḍanāyaka Bhāpahānavarman, the best of the Mahātagi (family?).
