In some of those inscriptions, rakryān is used instead of samgat.vatək· paḍaṁ Ataganni vahuta We could consider supplying mapapan· in the gap with reference to the following three passages, namely Cunggrang I A6 vatak· basi Ataganni vahuta vuṅkal·; Cunggrang II 1r4 vatək· bavaṁ Ataganiṁ vahuta vuṅkal·, gavai ku 2, Aṅgahan·, mā su 15 and Sarangan A5–6 vatək bavaṁ, Atagan iṁ vahuta I mapapān deniṁ miśra paramiśra.

Alas the parallel passage in Paradah II A14 (matūttakan vuvusnya sapasuk banuA tumarima Ikanaṁ mas kā 2 ….. savaḥ I paraḍaḥ tlas suddha-parisuddha) does not help, because it too is affected by a lacuna right after the quantity of gold is stated. Another parallel, in Watukura I 3r2 (tumarima Ikanāṁ mās· panīma saṅke haji), shows that a word meaning ‘from’ is expected. Hence, we could supply [ri], [sakeṁ] or [saṅke] in our edition.tavaṇḍaraThe toponym tavaṇḍara also figures in Turun Hyang A Cd4 s· kabayān· glar· vineḥ vḍihan· siki pasək· ku 2 I tavaṇḍara kabayān· mot· vineḥ.samgat· lambaliCf.

Hail! Elapsed Śaka year 852, additional month of Aśuji, twelfth tithi, waxing fortnight, Tuṅlai, Umanis, Thursday, lunar mansion Uttarabhadravāda, the deity Ahirbudhna.
That was when the decree of the Great King, the Lord of Hino, calledpu Siṇḍok Śrī Īśānavikrama Dharmmottuṅgadeva came down to both of the resident momah-umah officials: the one ofmaḍaṇḍarcalledpu Padma and the one ofaṅgəhancalledpu Kuṇḍala.
It gave an order with regard to the paddy-field land used as settlement at Masahar, district of Paḍaṅ, circumscription atagan of the vahuta — its measurement 3 tampah, purchased for 3 kāṭiand 5 suvarṇa of gold by the Lord of Hañaṅan Lampuran calledpu Vavu and his wife calleddyah Parhyaṅan:
that it be made into a sīmaand demarcatedthat it be presented to the deity in the holy devotional temple in their paṅurumbigyan at Masaharthat it served to become a sīma domain of the Deity for maintenance of anything that is in disrepair in the paṅurumbigyanthat it be inherited by the children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, descendants of great-great-great-grandchildren
— in short, by all descendants in continuous succession of the Lord of Hañaṅan pu Vavu and his wife dyah Parhyaṅan who shall be the heiress dāyādyaThis seems to be from Skt. dāyāda ‘heir’ and more specifically from the feminine form dāyādī. It looks like dāyădya is an irrealis form derived from the latter and hence has to mean ‘heiress’. to the paṅurumbigyan paddy-field land at Masahar.
Such was the intention of the Great King regarding the paddy-fields used as settlement purchased by the Lord and Lady raka of Hañaṅan, husband and wife,The expression of laki-bi (also in A9 just below), though recorded in OJED, is not found elsewhere in epigraphic texts as far as we know. from the headmen at Masahar all together. And the headmen at Masahar, senior and junior, were the vinəkascalledsi Nane, father of Sinta; the senior vinəkascalledsi Vidu, father of Balun; the gusticalledsi Sutyaṅ, father of Maṇik; the village foreman calledsi; the herald calledsi Tuṇḍuṅ; the junior vinəkascalledsi Tyanta; the avatəscalledsi Kusut; the irrigation overseer calledsi Kambar. According to what was said by all inhabitants of the village, they received 3 kāṭi and 5 suvarṇa of gold from (?) the Lord and Lady of Hañaṅan, husband and wife, for the paddy-field land used as settlement at Masahar.
After the purchase was fully validated, the headmen at Masahar ceased to use as settlement the paddy-fields of the Deity in the holy devotional temple in the paṅurumbigyan at Masahar, which actually prasiddha had the paddy-field settlement as sīma, not to be disturbed up to the future’s future. The Lady Royal Wife of the Lord of Śrī Maṅgala at Tavaṇḍara would offer them gifts: the arrangement/honorarium ? pasaṅ for them was 1 kupaṅ of gold, all grain-crops and all different kinds of fruits,The similar expression sarbvaphalaphali is found in the Barahasrama charter (1v11) while sarv(v)aphala is found in two Airlangga inscriptions, namely Kusambyan (B31–32) and Sima Anglayang (17r4) as well as in a charter from the Kadiri period, namely Padlegan I (18). produced every month of Aśuji without delay byākṣepa.This word, not recorded in OJED, is found also in Muncang (A46). It is from Sanskrit vyākṣepa. The Lord and Lady of Hañaṅan were ordered to hand over the gold to the headmen at Masahar, namelysaṅ Ḍimal, Inak-Ambak, Vantū and Tatha. Witnesses thereof: the Lords of Tajuṅ calleddyah Kavī, dyah Boḍoh, dyah Manaanddyah Hujuṅ; the Lord of Ləmah Tulis calleddyah Paṅhuvuṅan; the Lord of Mājha calleddyah Varyaṅ. Then they demarcated the paddy-field land used as settlement at Masahar, which ceased to belong to the district of Paḍaṅ.
The ones who attended humarəpThis meaning is not clearly included in OJED under humarəp. the sīma demarcation:
the official of Lamba, the Lampuran calledpu Bhoga;the ones of Muḍuhan calledsaṅ Pilih Mas and saṅ Varabas;the supervisor of servants calledsaṅ Vaḍathe calligrapher ‘of known virtue’ guṇa-kantan? at Aṅgəhan, the kakarancalledpu Munda;This figure also appears in Alasantan 3r2 (kakaran· pu munda vḍihan· hlai 1), the meaning of the term kakaran being unknown.the overseer of junior troops calledpu Tiñjo.
Present as witnesses were the Lord of Vulat Patih calleddyah Ḍohol,This figure also appears in Alasantan 2r18 and 4r16. The name Vulat Patih is a synonym of Tiṅhal Piṅhai which figures as a vatək in the Cane charter. the official of Mataṅan and dyah Rayu. They all were given 1 sheet of vəḍihan cloth per person. the puppeteer calledsi Tamblaṅ; the jester, calledsi Harama-pramukha; the agandur calledsi Cleṅ and the ḍiṇḍi calledsi Vahas;Some other inscriptions (Gulung-Gulung f7, f10–12; Jeru-Jeru d18, d21–22) figure performers with names ending in -pramukha. We suspect the terms agandur and ḍiṇḍi, not found in any other sources known to us, designate roles analogous to avayaṅ and abañol. the tuvuṅ players calledsi Labhaṇa andsi Baṅavan; the head of the servants of Jayamukha; all of them were given 1 sheet of vəḍihan cloth each. The nayaka of the village of Masahar calledsaṅ Vigata was given 4 māṣaand 2 pair of vəḍihan kāruka. The partaya of the same village calledsi Bhayī was given 2 māṣaand 1 sheet of vəḍihan. The overseers of gamblers (?), the Lord of Havaṅ Dhanasuntan viga (?) andsi Tira, father of Papi, were given 1 sheet of vəḍihan each.
Further, if there is ‘a corpse covered with dew’ baṅkay kābunan encountered in the sīma, the fine of 4 māṣa would be credited to the headman of the inner village jro vanua.We are unsure as to the precise meaning of rāma i jro vanua. The same expression is found in Demak Cd22 while a similar expression jro thāni is attested in Sima Anglayang (968 Śaka) 5v1, 5v2, 8r4. Cf. further Leiden ms. Or. 9378 (and Or. 10088) kunaṅ parnahanira i jro tani devapuja, homa vidi, buta bali, valikarma, ya-tanyan enaka paluṅguhnira riṅ patapanira. For the sīma, a purchase was made of land in the kabalanas, or and a vluran to be a conduit for its water.The word vluran, apparently designating some kind of water works like a canal, is very rare. The only other helpful occurrences are in the Tiga Ron inscription of the time of Balitung. What is clear is that havannani is to be analyzed as havan-a-ni. See some similar expressions in the Muncang charter A47–48. That price of purchase by the Lord of Hañaṅan and the Lady Parhyaṅan was 1 suvarṇaand 4 māṣa. It was made into a sīma without delay. The paṅrāma gift to the source of the water was 2 māṣa every year. There was land in the kakalaṅan to which the water of the vluran comes down, purchased for 2 māṣa. Its outer limit was 2 ḍpa. Those from whom the Lord and Lady of Hañaṅan bought it were saṅ Jeni andsaṅ Svaran.The word panumbasan is not recorded in OJED (although it occurs in some parva texts plus in Svayambhu). We guess it means ‘person from whom one buys’ (cf. paṅajyan in the sense of ‘teacher’).

The terms used in this paragraph are in part unusual, particularly susuhan and manuṅkuli, although the latter is occasionally found in Central Javanese inscriptions. See Barrett Jones 89, 102
The 2 masters of Vadihati — the Mira-Mirah calledsaṅ Halaṅ Pahuṅ and the Halaran calledsaṅ Ləbur Poh; the 2 masters of Makudur — the Vatu Valaiṅ calledsaṅ ra Majha andsaṅ Təpusan — were given as gift: 10 māṣa, 1 pair of vəḍihan cadar each.

The closest seems to be the extremely rare use of sapuṇḍuh that we find in only two inscriptions, namely Mantyasih I (829 Śaka, 1r4 kvaiḥnikanaṁ patiḥ sapuṇḍuḥ) and Canggu (1280 Śaka, 5r5–6 salvīraniṁ nāyaka, parttaya, Apiṅhe, Akurug·, Avajuḥ, vadihadi, sapuṇḍuḥnya kabeḥ).

Therefore, let him suffer the consequences! You, o gods, should kill him! Your approach when you kill him should be without looking back, not looking to the side, clash with the opponent, slap his left side, attack anew his right side, cut down his snout, split his skull, rip open his belly, stretch out his intestines, draw out his entrails, tear out his liver, eat his flesh, drink his blood, without delay finish off, bring to an end his life. If he goes to the forest, may he be eaten up by the tiger, bitten by the snake, whirled round and round by divine wrath! If he goes to the field, may he be caught by thunderclap, may his head be torn off by demons, may he be eaten by the Pamuṅvan giants!
Please you gods Kuśika, Garga, Metrī, Kuruṣya and Pātañjala, guardian of the North, guardian of the South, West, East, throw him in the air, tear him asunder (?) among all gods, throw him into the great ocean, drown him at the dam! May he be caught by deities in the water! May he be pulled by sea-monsters! May he be snatched by the crocodile! May it be there that he dies, the lawless man who dissolves the paddy-field land sīma settlement as Masahar!
