Translation

⟨1⟩ Prosperity! Fortune!

⟨2–25⟩ Meykkīrtti of Rājendra Cōḻa:

While Fortune (tiru) was perduring (maṉṉi) and growing (valaṛa), while the goddess of the great (iru) earth (nilam), the goddess of victory in war, and the unique goddess of fame rejoiced (iṉpuṟa) to have become (āki) his great (pērum) queens (tēviyar), in the extensive span of [Rājendra’s] age, [he conquered…]
⟨2⟩ the country of Iṭaituṟai;¹
Vaṉavāci,² whose warriors (paṭar) / where spread (paṭar from paṭartal) had fences (vēli) of continuous (tuṭar) forests (vāṉam) [as protection]; / and Vanavāci, which is fenced by continuous forests;
Koḷḷippākkai,³ whose walls (matil) were surrounded (cuḻ) by cuḷḷi trees;
Maṇṇaikaṭakkam,⁴ whose fortifications (araṇ) were difficult (arum) to approach (naṇṇaṟku);
the crown (muṭi) of the kings of Īḻam (īlattu aracar), an [impetuous] sea (kaṭal) in fighting (poru), and the exceedingly (oṅku) beautiful (eḻil) crowns (muṭi) of the queens (tēviyar) of that [king];
the beautiful crown ((cuntaramuṭi)) and the pearl necklace ((āram)) of Intiraṉ, which the king of the south ((teṉṉavaṉ, i.e. Pāṇṭiyaṉ)) had previously (muṉ) given up (vaitta) to (pakkal) that (avar) [[king of Īḻam]];⁵
the whole (muḻuvatum)() Īḻamaṇṭalam on the shining (teḷ) sea (tirai);⁶
the crown praised (pukaḻ) by many and the red-light emitting garland (ceṅkatir mālai), which are (ākiya) family-treasures (kula taṉam) which the Kēraḷa king, with a shooting/conquering (eṟi) army (paṭai), by due [[right of birth]] (muṟaimaiyiṟ) wore (cūṭum);⁷
many (pal) ancient (paḻan) islands (tī), whose old [(told)] and great guard (perum kāval) was the sea (vēlai) which resounds with with conches;⁸
the crown (muṭi) of pure gold (cem poṉ), worthy (taku) of Lakṣmī, which Paracurāmaṉ, having considered (karuti) the fortifications (araṇ) of Cāntimattīvu, impossible (aṟu) to conquer (mēvu), had deposited [[there]] (iruttiya), when, in anger (cinavil), he uprooted (kaḷaikaṭṭa)() kings/kṣatriyas (araicu) twenty-one times (kāl) in battle (ceruvil);
the seven and a half lakṣas (ilakkamum) of Iraṭṭapāṭi, [(through the conquest of whose)] throne (pīṭi) immeasurable (Aḷapperum) fame arose, [(and which he took from)] Jayasimha, who, out of fear (payam koṇṭu) and while blame (paḻi) increased (mika), gave/turned/showed (iṭṭu) his back (mutuku) at Mucaṅki/Muyangi and hid himself (oḷitta);⁹
and great Kula-mountain-loads of treasures consisting of navaniti;
Cakkara-k-kōṭṭam, whose warriors were brave;¹⁰
Maturamaṇṭalam, whose fortresses (vallai) touch the clouds (mutirpaaṭa);
fertile Nāmaṇai-k-kōṇai, which was ringed by groves;
Pañca-p-paḷḷi, whose warriors have cruel bows (veñ cilai)
Mācuṇitēcam, with green (pācu aṭai) paddy fields (paḻaṉam);
a large (niṟai) heap (kuvai) of family-treasures (kulataṉa), together with many (pala) [(other)] treasures (taṉattoṭu)(), [(which he carried away)] after having seized the king [intirataṉ] of the old race [tol kulam] of the moon [cantiraṉ], together with his family [kiḷaiyōṭum], in a roaring ([viḷi] battlefield [amar kaḷattu] in the hall at Ātinakar, famous [kīrtti] for its unceasing [ayarvil] abundance [vaḷ];
Oṭṭaviṣayam, which was difficult (arum) to approach (kiṭṭu) [[due to]] thick (ceṟi) woods (miḷai);
the good Kōcalai-nāṭu, where Brāhmaṇas assembled;
Taṇṭaputti (Daṇṭa-bhukti), in whose gardens bees abounded, [(and which he acquired)] after having destroyed Dharmapālaṉ in a hot battle;
Takkaṇalāṭam (Dakṣina-Lāṭa), famous ((kīrtti)) in [(all)] directions, after having attacked [(tākki)] Raṇacūraṉ with (uṟa) strength (muraṇ);
Vaṅkāḷatēcam, where the rain ((cāral)) never stopped ((taṅkāta)), while Kōvinta cantiraṉ, whose fortune/horse (mā) diminished/weakened (iḻintu) and fled (ōṭa);
elephants ((yāṉai)) of rare ((oṇ)) strength ((tiṟal)) and treasures ((paṇṭāram)) of women (peṇṭir), after gladly (aruḷi) frightening (añcuvittu) on a hot battle-field (viḷākattu) Makipālaṉ, of Caṅkukoṭṭam, which is near the deep (toṭu) sea (kaṭal);
(X)

Notes

1. This is identified with Eḍatore, which is the territory of Raichur district.
2. This is Banawāsi in north Kanara coast, capital of the Kadamba kings>
3. NS identifies this with Kulpak, north of Hyderabad.
4. Probably Mānyakheṭa, in Northern Karnataka; apparently a pavilion in the name of this city was built in Tiruvōṟṟiyūr. NS wonders whether this indicates the first or second campaign against Satyashraya of the Western Calukyas. Until here, he thinks all these places refer to just one long military campaign to the north.
5. The king of Laṅka had offered refuge to the Pandya king previously, who had left his regalia there.
6. NS: This is the end of the Sri Laṅka campaign.
7. This is the beginning of the Southern campaign, even though these territories were already annexed.
8. These are probably the Maldives and islands in the Arabian sea.
9. This is the record of the war against the Rastrakutas, under king Jayasiṁha III. “the seven and a half lakṣas of Iraṭṭapāḍi” have to be taken as formulaic since the Cholas did not conquer the whole of it.
10. Here begins the record of the second phase of the campaign—the march of the army through Kalinga and Odda to the Ganges, and the advance of Rajendra himself to the Godavari and beyond to protect the rear of the Ganges expeditionary force.
