Translation by Hultzsch 1891

1. After (the harvest of) the paśāṉ in the tenth year (of the reign) of Kō-Parakēsarivarman, alias the lord Śrī-Rājēndra-Chōḷadēva, who, etc.,¹ the members of the assembly of Perumbalamarudūr, a brahmadēya in Puṟaṅgarambai-nāḍu, (a subdivision) of Arumoṛidēva-vaḷanāḍu, have received from Chaṇḍēśvaradēva,—who is the first servant of the supreme lord, who has been pleased to take up gladly his abode in (the temple called) Śrī-Rājarājēśvara (at) Tañjāvūr,—eight hundred kāśu, viz., three hundred and ten kāśu, which the Rājaviṉōda-terinda-vala[ṅgai-vē]ḷaikkāṟar, (a subdivision) of the Niyāyam Perundaṉattu Valaṅgai-vēḷaikkāṟa-paḍaigaḷ, who were attached to the lord of the Śrī-Rājarājēśvara (temple), had deposited for the expenses required by this (image); two hundred and twenty-three kāśu, which the Chaṇḍaparākrama-terindavalaṅgai-vēḷaikkāṟar had deposited for the above (requirements) of this (image); and two hundred and sixty-seven kāśu, which the Paṇḍita-Śōṛa-terinda-[villigaḷ] had deposited [for the above (requirements)] of this (image).

2. For these eight hundred kāśu, (they) have to pay every year from (the harvest of) the paśāṉ in the tenth year (of the king’s reign), as long as the moon and the sun endure, an interest of one hundred kāśu into the treasury of the lord of the Śrī-Rājarājēśvara (temple),—the rate of interest being one eighth kāśu per year for each kāśu
