Translation by Emmanuel Francis

⟨1⟩ Prosperity! Fortune!

⟨32–33⟩ ... year of the glorious Rājendra Cōḻa, the Lord, alias the king Parakesarivarman,

⟨2–33⟩ who, ... [meykkīrtti of Rājendra I Cōḻa].

⟨33–38⟩ [There are] ninety goats that ... gave for one glorious perpetual lamp that ... had given for the honourable Dakṣināmūrti [deity] in the temple of the glorious Lord Kāmainakkar, Lord of the glorious Kailāsa, Lord of the Rājacūḷāmaṇicaturvedimaṅgala, alias Kāmappullūr in the Paṅkalanāṭu, [itself a subdivision] of the Jayaṅkoṇṭacōḻamaṇṭalam.

⟨38–42⟩ With these ninety goats, we have become those who will burn (erippatu¹), as long as the moon and the sun, one glorious perpetual lamp, We the Śivabrāhmaṇas, including the Bhāradvāja Nārāyaṇappaṭṭaṉ, a Śivabrāhmaṇa of this village, and his honourable younger brother, and We, the members of the assembly of Rājacūḷāmaṇicaturvedimaṅgala.

⟨41–42⟩ There is in our village a land as glorious flower garden for the glorious Kāmainakkar, Lord of the glorious Kailāsa.

⟨42–48⟩ We, the members of the assembly, We have given as glorious flower garden ...

⟨48–51⟩ We have given ...

⟨51–55⟩ We, the members of the assembly, We have given ...

⟨55–56⟩ With this land and this gold, the Śivabrāhmaṇas of this village, including the Bhāradvāja Nārāyaṇappaṭṭaṉ, a Śivabrāhmaṇa of this village, and his younger brother Periyāṉ, are assigned to have this binding agreement (nivantam²) proceed as long as the moon and the sun.

⟨56–58⟩ This [is under] the protetion of the Paṉmaheśvaras.
