Translation by Hultzsch 1891

1. In the tenth year (of the reign) of Kō-Parakēsarivarman, alias the lord Śrī-Rājēndra-Chōḷadēva, who, etc.,¹ (the following) written agreement (kaiyeṛuttu) (was entered into) by us, the members of the assembly of Aṟiñjigai-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya in Iḍaiyaḷa-nāḍu, (a subdivision) of Arumoṛidēva-vaḷanāḍu.

2. (We) have received after (the harvest of) the paśāṉ in the tenth year (of the king’s reign) 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,—eight hundred [kāśu] out of the money, which the Niyāyam Śiṟudaṉattu Valaṅgai-vēḷaikkāṟapaḍaigaḷilār,—who had been attached by order of the king to (the image of) Dakshiṇa-Mēru-Viṭaṅkar, which had been set up by the lord Śrī-Rājarājadēva,—had deposited for the requirements of this (image). For (these eight hundred kāśu), (we) have [to pay] every year, as long as [the moon and] the sun endure, an interest of one hundred kāśu into the treasury of the lord,—[the rate of] interest [being one eighth kāśu] per year for each kāśu.
