Translation by Samana Gururaja

(1) Benediction

(1–7) A multitude of years having elapsed since the time of king Śaka, the boundary made by the auspicious Kannaradēva — the lord of the earth, king of kings, supreme lord, he who blesses everyone, teri-viḷāsaṃ, the one who wrestles intoxicated elephants, the one with the grace of an elephant — during the khara samvatsara of 903, in the very middle of the year, on Tuesday during the bright fortnight of Magha, [stated that] for the distribution of the [betel] leaves there was to proceed the collection of two ¿units? (vaḍḍa) of money (paṇa)

(7–17) When the five hundred [mahājanas] of Kōgali and king Ādityavarma were ruling, as soon as the violation of the boundary increased, the five hundred of Bāḷguḷi, the thousand ¿[leaders]? of the betel leaf merchants — with members such as Siddhaseṭṭi, Sōbhanayya, Mallayyaseṭṭi and Aṇnaman promiment among them — and the five hundred, went to Āhavamalla Dēva — lord of the earth, king of kings, supreme lord, most venerated, the ornament to the family of Satyāśraya, ornament to the Cāḷukyas — and having prostrated themselves before his auspicious feet, stretching their abdomens forward, as soon as they made a respectful petition, he declared that the boundaries that were set for the collection of the toll under the jurisdiction of Kannaradēva would proceed. Having said this, he who defaults on this state of affairs (sthiti) will incur the five great sins of destroying Varanāsi, brown cows, and Kurukṣētra.

XVII–XIX

This [grant] which is a bridge of dharma for kings, from time to time is to be protected/maintained by you, all the kings who are partaking of it, [as] requested again and again by Rāmabhadra.

XIX–XXI

Whether given by oneself or another, he who robs/destroys that which is another’s, for sixty thousand years he will be born as a worm in excrement

(21) the five hundred and the thousand being present, they gave this to Bārikēca

(21–22) ¿pulses for the quarter headload of the farmers?

(22) made by Candōja
