Translation by Hultzsch 1899

¹Hail! Prosperity! In the fourth year [of the reign] of king Parakesarivarman who deprived Vīra-Pāṇḍya of [his] head,—Cēṉai, [who was] the son of the cultivator [Veḷḷāḷaṉ] Ci[kk]ār-uṭaiyāṉ Puliyaṉ [and] who resided at Śivacūḷāmaṇimaṅgala, alias Śrī-Vikramābharaṇa-caturvedimaṅgala, [a village] in its own subdivision of Kāliyūr-kōṭṭam, assigned [one] paṭṭi of land in the neighbourhood, to last as long as the moon and the sun, for his own merit [and] for the meritorious purpose of supplying to the brahmasthāna in this village water during six months and fire-pans (agniṣṭhā) during six months and of constructing a water-lever in front of the cistern at the maṇḍapa.^↓1

³The great men who manage the affairs of the village in each year, shall supervise this charity. Those who cause obstruction to this, shall incur [all] the sins committed between the Gaṅgā and Kanyā.^↓2 Under these conditions, I, Cēṉai, assigned [the land]. He who obstructs this, shall be liable to pay a fine of twenty-five kaḻañcus of gold.

Notes

↑2. Kanyā is the same as Kanyākumāri or, more commonly, Kumari, the Tamil name of Cape Comorin.
