Success!

On the day of Āśvina in the year 33 of the prosperous and victorious reign of his majesty the illustrious Mahīpāla I, the following word was given an agreement was made by the association of all the merchants belonging to illustrious Deśihaṭṭa, illustrious Jayahaṭṭa and illustrious Gauḍahaṭṭa, about all those who cause to grow areca nut and coconut trees at each small garden and vājyabhūmi of their own in Dhātrīpura, Saptakhātaka, Khanitrapallī and Lakkhunnagrāma, which are the villages coming to belonging to and demarcated in the donated tract of illustrious Sonnakādevīmādhava:

“three paṇas per coconut tree according to the growth of fruit and one paṇa per fruit-bearing areca nut tree should be given by them every year for the worship of illustrious Sonnakāmādhava.

In this regard, it is thus determined according to the cause: for each coconut tree hiraṇya paṇa 3, for each areca nut tree hiraṇya paṇa 1.

In full view of the one who does anything otherwise, his majesty the illustrious deity Sonnakāmādhava will be withdrawn; his father will be a donkey, his mother a sow of the ditch and his paternal uncle a camel. This is the curse.”
