Translation by Samana Gururaja

(1) Benediction

(1–5) Āhavamalla-dēva — the refuge of the entire world, lord of the earth, king of kings, supreme lord, most venerable, ornament to the Satyāśraya family, ornament to the Cāḷukyas -- having paired thieves and enemies with illness and omens of death, having brought under his control the leader of the Nānādēśi sect, having punished the wicked and protected the lawful, having performed the ritual of the great gift, the one who brought the one hundred fifty elephants which swung the arms of the Coḻa to the streets of his residence at Rodda — his rule was growing, attaining new heights of prosperity; as long as sun, moon, and stars exist:

(5–10) One sustained by his lotus feet — having attained the five great sounds, the mahāsāmanta, the rising sun over the mountain [which is] the Kadamba family, characterised by the sight of eminent, upheld foreheads, the lotuses of whose feet are touched by the crests of other kings, the one with the monkey emblem and the raised lion crest, the one who governs 84 towns [which] illuminate the sky, [which is] filled with the piercing sound of drums the one who established himanvanta śakti, born in the family which performed ten horse sacrifices, lord of the town of Banavāsi, champion of beauty, sun of war, a terror to the cruel, the wish-fulfilling jewel, filled with purity, beauty, and virtue, who serves Meru -- was the prosperous Ādityavarma; while he was ruling the Kōgaḷi 500 and the Sundavatti 12

(11–12) A number of years having elapsed since the time of king Śaka, while the year nandana of 914 was progressing, during the dark half of the month, in the week associated with Puṣya, on the Friday, during the passage of the sun to its northern course

(12–22) The shore enclosing the ocean of transmigration … the end of hollow existence agitated by the excellent power, he who is endowed with the capability of crossing the wicked, wordly existence, the superintendent Gaṇadharadēva-bhaṭṭāraka being the chief of Kogaḷi, the city measuring four yugas. Of Kogaḷi, the following merchants: Kālayyaseṭṭi: Koṭiseṭṭi Ajavarmmaseṭṭi, Āyjaseṭṭi, Baddiyammaseṭṭi, Pōcayyaseṭṭi, Sācayyaseṭṭi, Kāḷiseṭṭi; the following revenue collectors: Āyavarmayyaṁ, Maruḷayyaṁ, Gōvindayyaṁ, and Nāgamayyaṁ; the following village headmen: Kaliyammaṁ, Caṭṭayya, Kōgaḷivārayya, Eḍavāycayya Eṟejōgayyaṁ Baṁkayyaṁ, Kēkayyaṁ, Āycagāvuṇda, and Kannayyaṁ having made a donation for the institution of the five maṭhas, the settlement was as follows: Combining 750 mattar of black soil and 350 mattar of red soil, finally totalling to 1100 mattar for the army of the merchants. 8000 mattar as their tax-free land. 800 mattar and 8 groves for the revenue collectors, and 8000 mattar as their tax-free land. For the village headmen, 800 groves and 12000 mattar as their tax-free land. 1700 mattar and 12 groves in total as tax-free land for the administrators of their respective armies. 30 mattar and one grove for the village headman of Kuṭṭaṁgi’s attendant, who will stand in front for the protection of the basadi.

(22–24) All the twelve village headmen, including Ekkala-gāvuṇḍa, with the aquiesence of Vāḻgi-gāvuṇḍa, having seen the measure of the surroudning forests for the division of the lower tenacy, 30 mattar and one grove will be the ¿front? division, 32 [mattar] for the ¿rear? division, 3 gadyāna is the tax to be collected. These are the stipulations as released by the council.

(24–28) They will proceed with a share of 3 dharaṇa coins for the eighth year, and a share of three gadyānas beyond the collected tribute for the third year. This is the stipulation for all time, provided by the five kings for the donation released to the merchants, revenue collectors, and village headmen. For the grants which come to fruition outside of the prescription for uncultivated land, the tax for the eleyabaḷḷi 1000 is three gadyānas, for the mattar of sugarcane groves, two gadyānas, for the mattar of wetlands a dharaṇaṁ, and for the mattar of ¿grain? a copper coin. There is no tax on those grants which do not bear fruit.

(28–32) For the proprietorship/fees for rituals of the muddy water within the four boundaries of Kōgaḷi all of the fines and fees are for the basadi. The merchants, revenue collectors, and village headmen being hearers, the holders of the rent-free lands will, for three years, maintain the running fee of a gadyāṇa. Their lower tenants, for the remainder of the year [will pay] box/chest-payments [as follows]: for the second year, fifteen arave, for the third year, they will have raised for the black basadi according to the previous conditions. For the basadi, a grant of adjoining land for livelihood is 1000 matttar and 24 mattar of paddy-land. As well as groves. As well as a garden, free from all troubles.

(31–32) The institution of the five maṭhas is to maintain the grant of land for livelihood according to the previous stipulations.

(32–34) In the ¿body of the adulteress, having taken the adulterer’s clothes, his nose will be cut off and he is to be killed. The one who slays him is promised 8 copper coins. For the remaining, 12 copper coins, and for he who committed the crime a 12 gadyāṇa fine.?

(34–35) As long as the trader’s six shops which provide the prescribed cuisine exist respectfully, he who steals another’s wealth attains death.

(35) For the merchants, the revenue collectors, the village headmen and the institution of the five mathas, there is no obligatory, unpaid labour

(35–38) All of these stipulations are like striking an areca nut. The two temples build by King Āytavarma having spread the offspring of Kōgaḷi, he who destroys this, the third one is a great sinner who has destroyed a Prayāga, Kurukṣētra, Varanasi, kaḻbappu, a thousand brown cows, a thousand brahmins, and a thousand ascetics. He would also be the killer of Brahmins.

I

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

II

Poison is not poison, but the [wrongfully siezed] endowment is poison, it is said. Poison kills only one but the endowment kills sons and grandsons.

Benediction

Āhavamalla-dēva — the refuge of the entire world, lord of the earth, king of kings, supreme lord, most venerable, ornament to the Satyāśraya family, ornament to the Cāḷukyas -- having paired thieves and enemies with illness and omens of death,

having brought under his control the leader of the Nānādēśi sect, having punished the wicked and protected the lawful, having performed the ritual of the great gift, the one who brought the one hundred fifty elephants which swung the arms of the Coḻa

to the streets of his residence at Rodda — his rule was growing, attaining new heights of prosperity; as long as sun, moon, and stars exist:

One sustained by his lotus feet — having attained the five great sounds, the mahāsāmanta, the rising sun over the mountain <supplied reason="subaudible">which is</supplied> the Kadamba family, characterised by the sight of eminent, upheld foreheads,

the lotuses of whose feet are touched by the crests of other kings, the one with the monkey emblem and the raised lion crest, the one who governs 84 towns <supplied reason="subaudible">which</supplied> illuminate the sky, <supplied reason="subaudible">which is</supplied>

filled with the piercing sound of drums the one who established himanvanta śakti, born in the family which performed ten horse sacrifices, lord of the town of Banavāsi, champion of beauty, sun of war, a terror to the cruel, the wish-fulfilling jewel, filled with purity,

beauty, and virtue, who serves Meru -- was the prosperous Ādityavarma; while he was ruling the Kōgaḷi 500 and the Sundavatti 12

A number of years having elapsed since the time of king Śaka, while the year nandana of 914 was progressing, during the dark half of the month, in the week associated with Puṣya, on the Friday, during the passage of the sun to its northern course

The shore enclosing the ocean of transmigration <gap reason="ellipsis"/> the end of hollow existence agitated by the excellent power, he who is endowed with the capability of crossing the wicked, wordly existence, the superintendent Gaṇadharadēva-bhaṭṭāraka

being the chief of Kogaḷi, the city measuring four yugas. Of Kogaḷi, the following merchants: Kālayyaseṭṭi: Koṭiseṭṭi Ajavarmmaseṭṭi, Āyjaseṭṭi, Baddiyammaseṭṭi, Pōcayyaseṭṭi, Sācayyaseṭṭi, Kāḷiseṭṭi; the following revenue collectors: Āyavarmayyaṁ, Maruḷayyaṁ, Gōvindayyaṁ, and Nāgamayyaṁ;

the following village headmen: Kaliyammaṁ, Caṭṭayya, Kōgaḷivārayya, Eḍavāycayya Eṟejōgayyaṁ Baṁkayyaṁ, Kēkayyaṁ, Āycagāvuṇda, and Kannayyaṁ having made a donation for the institution of the five <foreign>maṭhas</foreign>, the settlement was as follows: Combining 750 <foreign>mattar</foreign>

of black soil and 350 <foreign>mattar</foreign> of red soil, finally totalling to 1100 <foreign>mattar</foreign> for the army of the merchants. 8000 <foreign>mattar</foreign> as their tax-free land. 800 <foreign>mattar</foreign> and 8 groves for the revenue collectors,

and 8000 <foreign>mattar</foreign> as their tax-free land. For the village headmen, 800 groves and 12000 <foreign>mattar</foreign> as their tax-free land. 1700 <foreign>mattar</foreign> and 12 groves in total as tax-free land for the administrators of their

respective armies. 30 <foreign>mattar</foreign> and one grove for the village headman of Kuṭṭaṁgi’s attendant, who will stand in front for the protection of the <foreign>basadi</foreign>.

All the twelve village headmen, including Ekkala-gāvuṇḍa, with the aquiesence of Vāḻgi-gāvuṇḍa, having seen the measure of the surroudning forests for the division of the lower tenacy, 30 <foreign>mattar</foreign> and one grove will be the <seg cert="low">front</seg> division,

32 <supplied reason="subaudible"><foreign>mattar</foreign></supplied> for the <seg cert="low">rear</seg> division, 3 <foreign>gadyāna</foreign> is the tax to be collected. These are the stipulations as released by the council.

They will proceed with a share of 3 <foreign>dharaṇa</foreign> coins for the eighth year, and a share of three <foreign>gadyānas</foreign> beyond the collected tribute for the third year. This is the stipulation for all time, provided by the five kings for the donation released

to the merchants, revenue collectors, and village headmen. For the grants which come to fruition outside of the prescription for uncultivated land, the tax for the eleyabaḷḷi 1000 is three <foreign>gadyānas</foreign>, for the <foreign>mattar</foreign> of sugarcane groves,

two <foreign>gadyānas</foreign>, for the <foreign>mattar</foreign> of wetlands a <foreign>dharaṇaṁ</foreign>, and for the <foreign>mattar</foreign> of <seg cert="low">grain</seg> a copper coin. There is no tax on those grants which do not bear fruit.

For the proprietorship/fees for rituals of the muddy water within the four boundaries of Kōgaḷi all of the fines and fees are for the <foreign>basadi</foreign>. The merchants, revenue collectors, and village headmen being hearers, the holders of the rent-free lands will,

for three years, maintain the running fee of a <foreign>gadyāṇa</foreign>. Their lower tenants, for the remainder of the year <supplied reason="subaudible">will pay</supplied> box/chest-payments <supplied reason="subaudible">as follows</supplied>: for the second year,

fifteen <foreign>arave</foreign>, for the third year, they will have raised for the black <foreign>basadi</foreign> according to the previous conditions. For the <foreign>basadi</foreign>, a grant of adjoining land for livelihood is 1000 <foreign>matttar</foreign>

and 24 <foreign>mattar</foreign> of paddy-land. As well as groves. As well as a garden, free from all troubles.

The institution of the five maṭhas is to maintain the grant of land for livelihood according to the previous stipulations.

In the <seg cert="low">body of the adulteress, having taken the adulterer’s clothes, his nose will be cut off and he is to be killed. The one who slays him is promised 8 copper coins. For the remaining, 12 copper coins, and for he who committed the crime

a 12 <foreign>gadyāṇa</foreign> fine.</seg>

As long as the trader’s six shops which provide the prescribed cuisine exist respectfully, he who steals another’s wealth attains death.

For the merchants, the revenue collectors, the village headmen and the institution of the five mathas, there is no obligatory, unpaid labour

All of these stipulations are like striking an areca nut. The two temples build by King Āytavarma having spread the offspring of Kōgaḷi, he who destroys this, the third one is a great sinner who has destroyed a Prayāga, Kurukṣētra, Varanasi, kaḻbappu,

a thousand brown cows, a thousand brahmins, and a thousand ascetics. He would also be the killer of Brahmins.

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

Poison is not poison, but the <supplied reason="subaudible">wrongfully siezed</supplied> endowment is poison, it is said. Poison kills only one but the endowment kills sons and grandsons.
