Prosperity! Fortune!
We the members of the assembly (sabhā) of Uttaramērucaturvedimaṅkalam, we have allotted (vaittōm) one land of four paṭṭi Malliyaṉ, as a single plot (tiraḷ-ē), as arcanābhoga, to the great god of Tiruppulivanam.
This should be for feeding (uṇpatu) a Brahmin, who is reputed as (uktaṉ-ākiya) skilled in the Vedas and the proper way of its recitation and who is a brahmācārin, for making worship (ārādhitt) three times [a day].
In this manner (ipparicu) we have alloted [this] for a limit of three years for each entrant (pukkār pukkārkku).
Signature of Vastuvidyāmayaṉ.
1Malliyaṉ Kārāṇai designates the land given. It incorporates the personal name Malliyaṉ.
