Translation by Samana Gururaja

¹Benediction

^1-4A multitude of years having elapsed since the time of king Śaka, during the Sarvajit samvatsara of the year 909, when the kingdom of Āhavamalla — lord of the earth, king of kings supreme lord, most venerable — was growing and attaining new heights,

^4-7a dweller at Āhavamalladeva’s lotus feet -- benediction -- Mahāsāmanta Āytavarmma who had attained rights to the five great titles, having punished the wicked and protected the orderly, was ruling the Kisukāḍu 70 and the Kōgali 500 with rights to the hidden treasures of the land

^7-9The grove in Manalapuri which the 52 [mahājanas] of Bāḷguḷi had given to the deity Āditya, established by Duggimayya, consisted of 60 kamma.

^9-11So that his children and their children may ¿continue to be protected and fed?, every year upon the year, Koṇindara Kannayya of that grove placed ¿the elephant’s gold and six gadyāna of ornamental gold? for the deity Āditya.

^11-12This order was given on Sunday, during the bright fortnight of Vaisākha.

^12-14Those who protect and support it [will receive] the five fruits of giving food to a thousand brahmins at Prayāga, and a thousand ascetics at Kurukṣētra, and making a ¿double-sided donation? of brown cows at Vāranāsi.

Whether given by oneself or another, he who robs/destroys that which is another’s, for sixty thousand years will be born as a worm in excrement

¹⁶Made by Candōja’s son, Hamsa.
