1. Hail! Prosperity! There was engraved on stone, as orally settled, the revenue (kāṇikkaṭaṉ) in paddy,–which has to be measured by the marakkāl called [after] Āṭavallāṉ, which is equal to a rājakesari;–and the gold and the money (kācu), which have to be paid from the land paying taxes; and [there was also engraved on stone] the land free from taxes,–including the village-site (ūr-nattam), the sacred temples (śrīkōyil), the ponds (kuḷam), the channels (vāykkāl) passing through [the villages], the paṟai-c-cēri, the kammāṇa-cēri, and the burning-ground (cuṭukāṭu),–in the villages, which the lord Śrī-Rājarājadeva had given in the Cōḻa country and in other countries as divine gifts (devadāna) for the expenses (nibandha) required by the supreme lord (paramasvāmin)of the sacred stone-temple (tirukkaṟṟaḷi), [called] śrī-Rājarājēśvara,–which the lord śrī-Rājarājadeva had caused to be built at Tañjāvūr,–until the twenty-ninth year [of the reign] of kō-Rājakēsarivarman, alias śrī-Rājarājadeva, who,–while his heart rejoiced, that, like the goddess of fortune, the goddess of the great earth had become his wife,–in his life of growing strength, during which, having been pleased to cut the vessel in the hall at Kāntaḷūr, he conquered by his army, which was victorious in great battles, Vēṅkai-nāṭu, Gaṅga-pāṭi, Taṭigai-pāṭi, Nuḷampa-pāṭi, Kuṭamalai-nāṭu, Kollam, Kaliṅkam, Īḻa-maṇṭalam, which was the country of the Ciṅkaḷas who possessed rough strength, the seven and a half lakṣas of Iraṭṭa-pāṭi, and twelve thousand ancient islands of the sea, deprived the Ceḻiyas of their splendour, while he was resplendent (to such a degree) that he was worthy to be worshipped everywhere.
2. [The village of] Pālaiyūr in Iṅkaṇāṭu, a [subdivision] of Teṉ-Kaṭuvāy, alias Arumoḻideva-vaḷa-nāṭu, (contains), according to measurement, one hundred and thirty-four (measures of) land and eight twentieths; 1/320 of three quarters, three twentieths, one fortieth, one hundred-and-sixtieth and one three-hundred-and-twentieth; and 1/320 of four twentieths, including the Jaina temple (paḷḷi) and [the land] enjoyed by the community of Jaina teachers (gaṇimuṟṟūṭṭu). There have to be deducted nine [measures of] land free from taxes, one eightieth, one hundred-and-sixtieth and one three-hundred-and-twentieth; and 1/320 of one half, consisting of the village-site, the ponds, the Kammāṇacēri, the Paṟaiccēri, the burning-ground, and the channels which pass through the land of this village. [There remain] one hundred and twenty-five measures of land paying taxes, seven twentieths, one fortieth and one three-hundred-and-twentieth; 1/320 of eight twentieths, one fortieth, one hundred-and-sixtieth and one three-hundred-and-twentieth; and 1/320 of four twentieths. The revenue paid as tax is twelve thousand five hundred and thirty kalam, two tūṇi, [one] kuṟuṇi and one nāḻiof paddy, which has to be measured by the (marakkāl) called after Āṭavallāṉ, which is equal to a rājakesari
3. [The village of] Ārappāḻ in the same nāṭu [contains], according to measurement, one hundred and eleven [measures of] land, six twentieths, one fortieth and one hundred-and-sixtieth; 1/320 of three quarters and one eighth; and 1/320 of one half and two twentieths, including the nāyvālam,[the land] enjoyed by the physician (maruttuvappeṟu), and the Jaina temple. There have to be deducted three [measures of] land free from taxes, one half, four twentieths, one eightieth and one hundred-and-sixtieth, [consisting of] the village-site, the ponds, the sacred temple, the temple of Aiyaṉ, the temple of Pitāri, the ponds in paddy-fields (kaḻaṉi), and the site of the Paṟaiccēri. [There remain] one hundred and seven [measures of] land paying taxes, one half, two twentieths and one eightieth; 1/320 of three quarters and one eighth; and 1/320 of one half and two twentieths. The revenue paid as tax is ten thousand seven hundred and forty-five kalam, two tūṇi, one patakku and three nāḻi of paddy, which has to be measured by the (marakkāl) called after Āṭavallāṉ, which is equal to a rājakesari.
4. [The village of] Kīraṉtēvaṉkuṭi in the same nāṭu [contains] forty-two measures of land, three quarters, four twentieths, one eightieth and one three-hundred-and-twentieth; 1/320 of one half, three twentieths, three eightieths and one hundred-and-sixtieth; and 1/320 of eight twentieths. There have to be deducted two measures of land free from taxes, one twentieth, one fortieth, one hundred-and-sixtieth and one three-hundred-and-twentieth; 1/320 of four twentieths and one three-hundred-and-twentieth; and 1/320 of one half and two twentieths, consisting of the village-site, the sacred temple and its flower-garden, and the ponds.
