The enemy-chastising charter belongs to the illustrious Jayarāja, who was the son of Prasanna and whose enemies were overcome by his valour.

Plates

Hail! From Śarabhapura, the illustrious great Jayarāja whose feet are washed by the sprinkling water that is the brilliance of the crest-jewels on the crests of his feudatories who have been brought into submission by his prowess; who made the women of his enemies tear out their parted hair; who is a giver of riches, land, and cattle; who is entirely devoted to Viṣṇu; and favoured by his father and mother, issues the following command to the landholders settled in the village of Mokkeppikā situated in the Nagarottarapaṭṭa district:

Let it be known to you that by means of this copperplate charter and preceded by a libation of water, this village has been granted by us for the increase of religious merit of father, mother, and ourselves, on behalf of the officer in charge of tracing stolen goods named Vatsa, to , śabarabhogika Rudrasvāmin and to Maheśvarasvāmin, both belonging to the Bhārgava gotra and to the Bahvṛca school. The grant of the village, which leads to happiness and fame in the abode of the lord of the gods i.e., Indra’s heaven, is to be enjoyed as long as the world will endure, the world of which the darkness of the night is removed by the rays of the sun, moon and stars; comes along with the right to hidden treasures and deposits; is not to be entered by irregular or regular troops; and is exempt from all taxes.

Having taken note of that, you should be obedient to the command received from them i.e., the donees and render the proper shares of periodical offerings and produce, while living happily in this village. And the king instructs the future rulers:

The ancients, reflecting on virtue, proclaim that the religious merit arising from the protection of a grant is more excellent than that which arises from the giving itself; therefore, your intent should indeed be to protect the earth that has been granted to a Brahmin of perfectly pure family and religious learning.

This gift is to be protected by you as well! And in this respect they quote the following stanzas sung by Vyāsa:

Gold is the first child of Agni, land is born of Viṣṇu, and cows are the offspring of Sūrya: Therefore, whoever would give gold, a cow, and land would give the three worlds.

A giver of land rejoices in heaven for sixty thousand years; he who confiscates it or allows another to confiscate it will dwell for the same period in hell!

The earth has been granted by many kings, beginning with Sagara; whoever possesses the land at any time, to him belong the fruits at that time!

O Yudhiṣṭhira, zealously protect the land which was given by yourself or by others! O best of kings, protection is superior to giving!

By the order from the king’s own mouth, the copperplate charter has been engraved by Acalasiṅgha on the day 5 of the month of Jyeṣṭha in the increasingly victorious year 9 of Jayarāja's reign.
