Ōm! Hail! When the voctorious reign of king Traiḷōkyamalla, the refuge of the whole earth, favourite of Fortune and Earth, great Emperor, supreme Lord, supreme Master, ornament of Satyāśrayas's race, embellishment of the Cāḷukyas, was advancing in its course of successively increasing prosperity to endure as long as moon, sun and stars:-

Hail! While Akkā-dēvi, whose feet-lotuses are rubbed by the diadems of opponent kings, who is pure through bathing in the Ganges, a wishing-jewel to the distressed and masterless, a crest-jewel of discretion, uniform in speech, adorned with virtues, was administering the Kisukāḍ seventy, the Toṟugare sixty, and the Māsavāḍi hundred-and-forty in the enjoyment of pleasant conversations so as to suppress the evil and protect the excellent;-

in the standing camp of Pannēḷeya-kōṭe, on Sunday, the 13th day of the bright fortnight of Jyaiṣṭa in the Śaka year 973, the cyclic year Vikṛita, all the MInisters of State, to wit, Kāḷidāsayya, Steward of Household, the Councillor Miḷḷeyya, the Councillor Ciṭṭimayya, the Minister of State Demmaṇṇa, the aḷiya Candimayya, Cāvuṇḍarāya the Steward of the Betel-bag, and Dāsimayya the Secretary to the Council, in concert with the administrators headed by Nādēvayya, Commissioner of the County, made for the Eight Seṭṭis Ajavarmayya Seṭṭi of Sūṇḍi, Śantivarmayya Seṭṭi, Dēmayya Seṭṭi, Cāvuṇḍi Seṭṭi's son Ballayya, Śōbhanayya Seṭṭi, Mada Nāgayya Seṭ̣i, Cāmaṇṇa Seṭṭi, and Jayadēvayyas Seṭṭi and for the Eight Households, a renewal of their corporate regulations in so far as they had broken down through the invasion of the Cōḷikas, and granted a statutory consitution of the following tenour:

The shops and houses are to have their four sides of access situate in the grounds of the lands of Karagambāḍu. They allow them to stand with a grant of immunity from all imposts, including fixed land-rent, for two śrāhes beginning from the present year; subsequently, from the year Nandana onwards, they are to be charged with the sarv-āya annually. The fixed land-rent to be paid by them under the statutory constitution of the Department of Charities is to be eighteen gold gadyāṇas. The constitution of the Eight Seṭṭis is not to apply to the county, nor the constitution of the county of the Eight. Within the Kisukāḍ sevent the land plots are to be immune from tolls woth the bīra-vaṇa. Within the town, in cases where anything is lost, the ara-taḷāra has to make it good. The guilt of a father shall not attach to a son, nor the guilt of a son attach to a father. If one strike with a weapon a thief, rubber, burgalar, enemy, or evil-minded person under a shop, screen or veranda, there shall be a fine, but no guilt; the fine shall be gold gadyāṇas; for him who exceeds the fine shall be one paṇa; for him who cudgels sucj a one, the fine shal be two paṇas
