Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 3rd year of (the reign of) Pārthivēndrādivarman who took the head of Vīra-Pāṇḍya, we (the members) of the assembly of Uttaramēlūr-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, (a village) in its own subdivision in Kāliyūrkōṭṭam wrote (thus):—The land given for the maintenance of worship (archanābhōga) and for sacred offerings of (the goddess) Jyēshṭhā in Kumaṇpāḍi of our village (is as follows):—408 (kuḻi) of first rate (land) in the third square (śadukkam) to the west of (the path called) Kōla-vadi in the fourth kaṇṇāṟu . . . . . (situated) south of the high-level channel (mugaṭṭu-kāl); 480 kuḻi of (the lane called) Subrahmaṇya-nārāśam; and to the north of this, first rate (land) (measuring) 260 kuḻi in the ninth square to the south of the path leading straight to the Kāvaṉūr tank, in the eighteenth kaṇṇāṟu. We, (the members) of the great assembly, exempted (all) this land from tax and declared it tax-free. We, (the members) of the great assembly, having received pūrvāchāram from Māyilaṭṭi declared (the land) tax-free. Those who cause obstruction (to this) shall incur the sins of those who commit (sinful acts) between Gaṅgā (the Ganges) and Kumari (Cape Comorin).
