Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 13th year of (the reign of) king Pārthivēndrādivarman, I, Maṉṉaṉ Kaṇṇaṉ alias Kāmāmōga-Vāraṇappēraraiyaṉ, an elephant mahout who rides behind the king (perumāḷ), purchased from the god two thousand kuḻi (measured) by the rod of Śiṟṟiyāṟṟūr out of (the land) Vaḍavāyēttam in Śiṟṟiyāṟṟūr in Mēlappaḷugūr-nāḍu, (a subdivision) of Maṇayil-kōṭṭam, which the prosperous god (āḻvār) of Gōvindapāḍi had purchased, and gave (the land) for feeding daily one Brāhmaṇa with sumptuous meal in the maṭha as long as the moon and the sun (endure), to (i.e., under the care of) Vaishṇavadāsa who was managing the temple business (śrīkārya) of the prosperous god (perumāṉaḍigaḷ) that was pleased to stand at Gōvindapāḍi in Valla-nāḍu, (a subdivision) of Dāmar-kōṭṭam. This charity is placed under the protection of the śrī-Vaishṇavas.
