He, this Rājakēsarivarman Rājarāja, who had seen the other shore of the ocean of the collection of all sciences, whose foot-stool was made yellow by the cluster of rays (emanating) from many a gem set on the borders of the beautiful gold diadems worn by the entire circle of kings, gave, in the twenty-first year of his universal sovereignty,
such) high loftiness (as had) belittled the Kanakagiri (i.e. Mēru), which had been built―in the name of his father, by the glorious Māravijayōttuṅgavarman, who, by the greatness of his wisdom, had conquered the teacher of the gods, who was the sun to the lotus-forest (viz.) the learned men, who was the Kalpa-tree to supplicants, who was born in the Śailēndra family, who was the lord of the Śrī-Vishaya (country), who was conducting the rule of Kaṭāha, who had the Makara crest, (and) who was the son of Chūḷāmaṇivarman that had mastered all state-craft―at Nāgīpattana, delightful (on account of) many a temple, rest-house, water-shed, and pleasure garden and brilliant with arrays of various kinds of mansions, (situated) in the division called Paṭṭanakūṟṟa (included) in the big group of districts named Kshatriyaśikhāmaṇi-vaḷanāḍu, which was the forehead-mark of the whole earth,which had its) four boundaries defined by the circumambulation of the female elephant and (which was situated) in the division called Paṭṭana-kūṟṟa (included) in the same group of districts (as had been named above).

This lord of Kaṭāha of great valour, the abode of virtues, thus prays to all future kings: “Protect (ye) for ever this my charity.”
...
At the direction of that lord of Kaṭāha, Śrīmān Aṭikaḷ’s son, who was well known as Tuvavūravān Aṇukka, who was modest, endowed with virtues, devoted to his master’s concerns and of generous mind, caused to be made this lasting edict.
