Translation by Hultzsch 1899

¹Hail! Prosperity! In the 13th year [of the reign] of king Rājarāja-Kesarivarman, who destroyed the ships [at] Cālai.^↓1 The writing of us, the great assembly of Śivacūḷāmaṇimaṅgala, alias Śrī-Vikramābharaṇa-caturvedimaṅgala, [a village] in its own subdivision of Kāliyūr-kōṭṭam.

²Kaṭuvaṅk-uṭaiyāṉ Nārāyaṇaṉ Rājasiṁhaṉ of Kaṭuvaṅkuṭi, [a village] in Tiruvintaḷūr-nāḍu, [a district] on the northern bank [of the] Kāvērī in Cōṇāṭu,^↓2 had purchased from Caṭṭikumāra-Kramavittaṉ^↓3 of Uṟuppuṭṭūr five hundred and fifty [kuḻis,——measured] by a graduated rod, beginning^↓4 [to measure] from the land [of the temple] of Śrī-Rāghavadevar in the north,——of land to the west of the road (vati) to [the temple of] Śaṁkaranārāyaṇa [and] to the north of the Taṟutampa channel, and had assigned [it] for [providing] four nāḻis [of rice] for the oblations to be offered at noon-time to [the god] Tiruvā(y)moḻidevar in our village.

⁵Having received the revenue of this land, and having exempted [it] from taxes for as long as the moon and the sun exist, we, the assembly, engraved [this] on stone.

⁶Having been present in the assembly and having heard [their] order, I, the arbitrator (madhyastha) Āyirattirunūṟṟuvaṉ, alias Brahmaguṇākaravidyāsthāna-Maṅgalāditya-Samañjasapriyaṉ, the son of Nālāyiravaṉ, wrote [this]. Prosperity!

Notes

↑1. See Vol. II. p. 241, note 1.
↑2. This is a contraction of Cōḻa-nāṭu; see Vol. II. p. 229, note 2.
↑3. See Vol. II. p. 259, note 1.
↑4. This translation of aṭaiya is doubtful. The same word occurs in No. 10, line 6, and in Vol. II. No. 78, line 4, where teṟkaṭaiya must be read instead of teṟkaṭaiy.
