Prosperity! Fortune!

Fifteenth year of the victorious king Kampavarman.

Writ/Writing of me Aparājita, whereas I, servant aṭiyēṉ of Perumāṇaṭikaḷ of the glorious tiru in the Īkkāṭṭukkōṭṭam in the Toḻūrnāṭu.

I have given one thousand kaḻañcus of gold for the Vajramegha tank in Uttaramēruccaturvedimaṅgala in the Kāliyūrkkōṭṭam.

With these one thousand kaḻañcus of gold, each and every year, as long as earth and sun last two hundred kaḻañcus of gold, for this Vajramegha tank, starting in the month of Āṉi, so that three lunar months are included, having given iṭṭu these two hundred kaḻañcus of gold I, Aparājita.

We, the members of the assembly, so that these two hundreds kaḻañcus of gold be, in this wise, for this very tank, a pious donation dharma by him ivaṉukkē, literally "for him", that is, Aparājita, the silt kuḻi kutti, each and every year, we will have it removed Āṭṭuvippōm āṉōm

Even if we give aṭṭōmāyilum, he who obstructs vilakkināṉum this without giving aṭṭāmai, he will become āṉāṉ permanently nicati one who attains eytuvāṉ the crime pātakam of killing koṉṟa like one thousand tawny cows āyiraṅ kurāl-āka.

He who harms this pious donation he attains the entire sin done by those who do murder of one among the “Seven Hundreds” between the Ganges and Kumari.

Of him who protects this pious donation, the feet are on my head.
