Translation

Plates: Tamil portion

⟨85r8–86r14⟩ To those who do good to this brahmadeya and to those who protect it the way I established it, there should be a merit ⟨equal to that⟩ of those who, at the time of a solar eclipse, in sacred places such as the confluence of the Ganges in the ocean, Vāraṇāsī, Sālagrāma, and Kurukṣetra, make a donation of several thousands tawny pregnant cows, along with clothes, ornaments and land, in favour of honourable experts in the four vedas, who are officiants for all sacrifices, poor, chiefs of large household, and knowing the brahman.

⟨86r14–86r16⟩ There should be a merit ⟨equal to that⟩ of those who, after building in the same places the very best temples for Mahādeva and Mahāviṣṇu, after making their installation at the same time, do excellent worship perpetually.

⟨86r17–86r18⟩ There should be a merit ⟨equal to that⟩ of those who, ...

⟨86r18–86r18⟩ There should be a merit ⟨equal to that⟩ of those who, ...

⟨86v1–86v4⟩ To those who make destruction to this pious act and to those who associate with this destruction, there should be a sin ⟨equal to that⟩ of those who, at the same time and in the same places, intentionally kill innocent ones like such cows, Brahmins and warriors.

⟨86v4–86v5⟩ There should be a sin ⟨equal to that⟩ of those who destroy these temples at the same time.

⟨86v5–86v6⟩ There should be a sin ⟨equal to that⟩ of those who ...

⟨86v6–86v7⟩ There should be a sin ⟨equal to that⟩ of those who, ungrateful, commit treachery against their lord.

⟨86v7–86v8⟩ There should be a treachery and a sin ⟨equal to that⟩ of those who, ...

⟨86v8–86v9⟩ This is the manner he graciously did after having graciously had this stipulation (samaiyam¹) done having said so.

⟨86v9–86v10⟩ He says² ⟨so⟩ looking³ at the kings who will come further.

⟨86v10–86v13⟩ He graciously gave this order to these assembly members, having graciously done it saying: “Protect this pious act observing this stipulation and considering the benefit which lies in donating land, the sin which lies in seizing land, and the benefit which lies in protecting a pious donation.”

⟨86v13⟩ This ⟨is under the⟩ protection of the kings of whichever time

⟨86v13–86v15⟩ Whil he⁴ graciously did so, I, Cōḻa Māttāṇṭa Ācāriyaṉ, alias Ārāvamutu Kaṇattāṉ, the chief carpenter, I have engraved the letters on these copper plates.

⟨86v15⟩ These are my hand-writings.

⟨21⟩ Prosperity!

203.

This glorious order of the king Rājendra Parakesarivarman is made into a diadem on the heads of the kings of the earth.

204.

At the order of the glorious Vīrarājendra, Candrabhūṣaṇa made this glorious eternal order on a copper leaf.⁵

Prosperity! Fortune!

2. The original reading is collukiṉṟē¡n!⟨ṉ⟩, but one should probably understand collukiṉṟār.
3. That is, having in mind.
4. That is, the king.
5. That is, on copper plates.
