(Line 1.) Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 4th year of (the reign of) Pārthivēndrādhipativarman who took the head of Vīra-Pāṇḍya, (this is) the writing of us (the members) of the great assembly of Uttaramērūr-chaturvēdimaṅgalam (situated) in its (own) subdivision (kūṟu) in Kāliyūr-kōṭṭam. The land given to Ātrayaṉ Ta[t*]ta-bha[ṭ*]ṭaṉ who performs the worship of the god (perumāṉaḍigaḷ) in the big hall (periya-maṇḍapa) of our village, for archanābhōga, sacred offerings and sacred lamps (is as follows):—

(L. 3.) Six hundred kuḻi of first rate (land) in the second square (śadukkam) and in the third square west of (the path called) Viḍēlviḍugu-vadi of the first kaṇṇāṟu, north of (the path called) Vayiramēga-vadi; also every sort of land which formed the one share assigned (by us) to Kandāḍai Poṉṉaiyakramavitta Sōmāśiyār Ambalattaḍigaḷ. We (the members) of the great assembly having received pūrvāchāram for this land from Śandiraṉ Eḻunūṟṟuvaṉ Nuḷamba Māyilaṭṭi, a merchant (residing in) Raṇavīrappāḍi in Kāñchīpura, ordered (it to be made) tax-free. We shall not enter (in books) amañji, veṭṭi, iṟai, echchōṟu or any other kind (of tax); we (the members) of the great assembly (further) ordered that those who act against this shall be liable to a fine of twenty-five kaḻañju of gold in the court of justice and that they shall incur the sins of the sinners (residing) between Gaṅgai (the Ganges) and Kumari (Cape Comorin).
