Translation by Jens Thomas

Svasti! When there was the day (X) of (the month) Kartika of 27th year in the era (saṁvatsara) of the victorious reign of Śrī Vikramāditya, (who is) grounded in truth, the beloved of the earth, the Mhārājādhirāja, the Parameśvara, the Bhaṭṭāraka, Viṇṇapa (official) of Nalamādirāju gave twenty maṟutuṟu land of royal measure in (X)ṇḍimuttaḷūru to the Lord (bhaṭṭāra) in (X)kaḍutūru. He who destroys this (will be) sin(ful).
