Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

Hail! Prosperity! In the 11th year [and] the 324th day of [the reign of] king Pārthivendrādhipativarman, we [the members] of the big assembly of Uttaramērucaturvedimaṅkalam, [a village] in its [own] subdivision in Kāliyūr-kōṭṭam [wrote thus]. The [following] lands were given by Villavaṉ-Mahādeviyār, the queen of the lord (i.e., the king), for the image and for the śrīkōvil, which she had set up to the god (perumāṉaṭikaḷ) of Tiruvayodhyai in our village and for śrībali and arcanābhoga:—one thousand seven hundred and sixty kuḻis in all, of first rate [land] in the fourth, fifth and sixth śadukkam [situated] north of [the channel called] Sarasvati-vāykkāl of the first kaṇṇāṟu to the west of [the path called] Uttaramēru-vati; seven hundred and forty kuḻis of first rate [land] in the fifth catukkam of the second kaṇṇāṟu [situated] to the west of [the path called] Amaninārāyaṇa-vati south of [the path called] Vayiramēka-vati; [and] four hundred and twenty kuḻis of first rate [land] in the second catukkam to the west of [the path called] Avaninārāyaṇa-vati of the fourth kaṇṇāṟu [situated] to the south of [the path called] Vayiramēka-vati.

(2) We, [the members] of the big assembly, having received pūrvācāram from queen Villavaṉ-Mahādeviyār ordered the total [extent] of [these] two thousand nine hundred and twenty kuḻis [of land] to be free from taxes as long as the moon and sun [last]. The śraddhāmantas themselves shall impose a fine of twenty-five kaḻañcus of gold on those who obstruct this charity. The dust of the sacred feet of those who protect this charity shall be on the glorious crown of Villavaṉ-Mahādeviyār who founded this charity. Those who are opposed to this charity shall incur the sins of those who have committed [sins] between Gaṅgā and Kumari. We, [the members] of the big assembly of Uttaramallūr-caturvedimaṅkalam having made [the lands] tax-free, had this donation engraved on stone. I, Śivadāsaṉ Aiyāyirattirunūṟṟuva-Brahmapriyaṉ, the arbitrator, being [present] in the big assembly, wrote [this] at the command of the big assembly. Prosperity !
