Seventh year of Dantivarman.

Writ eḻuttu of the members of the peruṅkuṟi assembly.

We have given them after selling them viṟ·ṟuk kuṭut·tōm five pāṭakams that we have allotted so that they be for a tank south of the eastern division of Parameśvaravati, to Svāmikumāracaturvvedisomayājiyār of Muṭumpai, so that he digs the tank and raises its bunds.

For this itaṉukku we have received in full aṟakkoṇṭōm the price poruṭcilavu, literally “the expenses for the object”.

Having said that eṉṟu we have got koṇṭōm for the price vilaikku nothing different allātatu from what is common sāmānyam with the assembly sabhai-y-ōṭṭai, they are not those who obtain perātārāṉār to enjoy anubhavikka this especially viśeṣam themselves tāmum and their lineage santati.

The feet of those who protect this dharma which is named Svāmikumārakuṭṭam are on our heads.

Writing eḻuttu of Parameśvara.

We translate eḻuttu differently in its two occurrences, as it designate the "signature" or the "writ" of the assembly (sabhā, line 1), but also the "writing", "engraving" or "text composed by" Parameśvara, the "scribe" (line 6).
