Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

(Line 1.) Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 3rd year of (the reign of) Pārthivēndrādhipativarman, who took the head of Vīra-Pāṇḍya, (this is) the writing of us (the members) of the great assembly of Uttaramēlūr-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, (a village) in its own subdivision in Kāliyūr-kōṭṭam. (The following are) the lands which were given to the god (perumānaḍigaḷ) of Tiruppulivalam of our village for archchanābhōga and the sacred current expenses:—

(L. 2.) two hundred and ten kuḻi in the first śadukkam (situated) west of (the path called) Paramēśvara-vadi of the tenth kaṇṇāṟu north of the village; 380 kuḻi of first rate (land) in the fourth śadukkam (situated) east of (the channel) Vilakku-vāykkāl of the third kaṇṇāṟu north of (the channel) Śrīdēvi-vāykkāl; in the same place, 480 kuḻi of first rate (land) in the second śadukkam (situated) east of Vilakku-vāykkāl of the third kaṇṇāṟu; 720 kuḻi of first rate (land) in the fifth śadukkam (situated) east of (the path called) Mālpiḍugu-vadi of the fifteenth kaṇṇāṟu north of (the lane called) Subrahmaṇyanārāśam; 370 kuḻi of third rate (land) in the fifth śadukkam (situated) west of (the path called) Tirunāraṇa-vadi in the seventh kaṇṇāṟu south of (the channel ?) Pulivalamvāy; in the same place, 450 kuḻi of third rate (land) in the second śadukkam of the eighth kaṇṇāṟu; 1,070 (kuli) of second rate (land) (situated) in the eighth śadukkam west of (the path called) Tirunārana-vadi in the sixth kannāṟu south of Pulivalavāy . . . . . . .
