Hail! Śatyaditunṟu (Satyāditya) of the Kāśyapa-gōtra, son of Śaktikomara Vikramāditya (and grandson of) the great lord, the glorious Chōḻa-Mahārājādhirāja Vikramāditya, while ruling the Śiddhi one thousand and the Rēnāṇḍu seven thousand (districts), gave to Rēvaśarmma of the Kāśyapa-gōtra, (a resident) of Komaṟipāṟa, five marutru (of land) at Chiṟuṁbūru . . . . . on the north side . . . . . east side . . . . . the boundary of the fileds of Juggi; (on) the south side . . . . . . . . . . . To him that maintains this (charity), (shall accrue) the merit of establishing a thousand temples, a thousand tanks (and) a thousand villages! He that obstructs this, shall live in the world of him who commits the five great sins (such as) murder of a son, the murder of a woman (and) the murder of a cow!

Commentary
The inscription was written from the bottom up on both faces. H. Krishna Sastri comments on the word marutru (line 18): “Marutru is evidently the plural of marutu, which again is a corrupt form of the Kanarese mattar, mattaru ’a measrue of land’” (1911–1912, p. 346, n. 5).
