Translation

(1v1–1v2) Hail! Elapsed Śaka year 794, month of Māgha, twelfth (tithi) of the waxing fortnight, Mavulu, Umanis, Wednesday (i.e., on 14 January 873). That was when the Lord (rakarayān) of Sirikan, (named) pu Rakap, was bestowed by the Great King, the Lord of (rakai) Kayu Vaṅi with the serfdom wasteland (sukat kahulunan) (called) Tunahan, a tract (ləmah) at Mamali.

(1v3–1v4) The Lord offered as gifts to the Great King: 5 guilders (suvarṇa) of gold in grain (cumvi), 2 sets of vḍihan of pinilai manufacture, 1 kǝban of gañjarpatra, 2 tubs of fish, 1 cage of wild pigeons, 1 basket of flowers.

(1v4–1v5) The one who was ordered by the Lord to offer the gifts to the Great King was the officiant of Tira (called) pu Bhujaṅga. What he offered (asǝan-nya) was for the pahayu.1 Five nights did the gifts last, as he offered them.

(1v5–1v7) The tract was provided with a fence by the headmen of Mamali, attended by the hanuṅənaṅ (called) pu Śaṅkhara. Names of the headmen who provided [it] with a fence: the kalaṅ (called) si Kais; 2 gustis, the father of Saṅkān [and] the father of Maṅarani; the vinǝkas, father of Tan Livū; the maṅatag (called) si Uṅgahan; the 2 heralds (called) si Vāhu [and] si Golo; the hulair, father of Amvarī; the hulair of the village-community, father of Dravya; the mapǝkan (called) si Kahuripan; the makajar (called) si Bali; the tuha alas (called) si Valā.

(1v8–1v9) The hanuṅənaṅ was given 10 māṣas of silver as payment (paməli-a, or paməlyan?) by the elders of Vayū, and 2 māṣas of gold as payment by the humble laborers of the hanuṅənaṅ of Vayū. Also, the elders of Mamali were given 1 dhāraṇa of silver [and] 1 avitan; the foreman (saṅ tuha) of the kalaṅs (called) si Pundaṅil was given 1 set of vḍihan.
