Hail! Prosperity! Until the twenty-ninth year of the reign of Kō-Rājakesarivarman, alias Śrī-Rājarājadeva, who, in his life of growing strength, during which,— (in) the belief that, as well as the goddess of fortune, the goddess of the great earth had become his wife,— he was pleased to destroy the ships at Kantaḷūr-cālai, and conquered by his army, which was victorious in great battles, Veṅkai-nāṭu, Kaṅka-pāṭi, Taṭikai-pāṭi, Nuḷamba-pāṭi, Kuṭamalai-nāṭu, Kollam, Kaliṅkam, Iḻa-maṇṭalam which was the country of the Ciṅkaḷars who possessed rough strength, the seven and a half ilakkam of iraṭṭa-pāṭi, and twelve thousand ancient islands of the sea,- deprived the Ceḻiyars of their splendour at the very moment when they were resplendent to such a degree that they were worthy to be worshipped everywhere;- the lord Śrī-Rājarājadeva had given,— for reciting the Tiruppatiyam before the lord of the Śrī-Rājarājadeva temple,— forty-eight musicians Piṭarār, one person who should constantly beat the small drum1 in their company, and one person who should constantly beat the big drum koṭṭi-mattaḷum2 in their company. These fifty persons were to receive from the city treasury of the lord a daily allowance nibandha of three kuṟuṇis of paddy each, measured by the marakkāl called after Aṭavallāṉ, which is equal to a rājakesari. Instead of those among these persons, who would die or emigrate,3 the nearest relations of such persons were to receive that paddy and to recite the Tiruppatiyam. If the nearest relations of such persons were not qualified themselves, they were to select other qualified persons, to let these recite the Tiruppatiyam, and to receive that paddy. If there were no near relations to such persons, the other incumbents of such appointments5 were to select qualified persons for reciting the Tiruppatiyam, and the person selected was to receive the paddy in the same way, as that person whom he represented, had received it. Accordingly, the names of the fifty persons were engraved on stone, as the lord Śrī-Rājarājadeva had been pleased to order:—
