Translation by Hultzsch 1891

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

2. (We) 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,—five hundred kāśu out of the money, which the Niyāyam Śiṟudaṉattu Valaṅgai-vēḷaikkāṟa-pa[ḍ]ai[gaḷilār],—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 five hundred kāśu), (we) 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 sixty-two and a half 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.
