Translation by Hultzsch 1899

(Line 1.) In the 11th year (of the reign) of the emperor of the three worlds, Śrī-Kōnērimēlkoṇḍa-Kulōttuṅga-Śōḻadēva,² —I, Śeṅgēṇi Ammaiappaṉ Kaṇṇuḍaipperumāṉ,³ alias Vikrama-Śōḻa-Śambuvarāyaṉ, gave to the god the internal revenue of the temple of the lord Tiruvallam-uḍaiyār, the taxes in paddy and the taxes in money accruing from the external revenue due from (the fields called) Vaḍakaṇḍam and Kamugaḍi, the tax on looms,⁴ the tax on Ājīvikas,⁵ all the revenue of Tīkkāli-Vallam, the minor taxes⁶ and (the fines called) kuṟṟam and daṇḍa, including the share of the village accountant and the share and tax of the temple accountant.

(L. 8.) He who obstructs this charity, shall incur the sin of killing a tawny cow between the Gaṅgā and Kumari.

(L. 10.) The feet of him who protects this charity, (shall be) on my head.
