TRANSLATION

(Lines 1-4) May there be success ! In the increasingly victorious reign of the illustrious Vīra-Naranārasiṁhadēva─ Year 22, Kārttika-kṛishṇa 7, Sunday.

(Lines 4-18) Formerly (an area of) 12 Vāṭīs of land (at) Vāghamarā was granted as Ēkādaśa-Rudra-bhikshā in favour of the Siddhēśvara-maṭha at the illustrious Kṛittivāsa-kshētra (i.e. Bhubaneswar) for the longevity and (fulfilment of) the desires of the elder Narasiṁhadēva. As to (this) land, (it) was mortgaged by Tapōrāja-mahāmuni to Durgābhaṭṭa-āchārya. The (amount borrowed) was one hundred and fifty (gold) Māḍhas─ 150. (He also) borrowed from Uttarēśvara-nāyaka. (In) this (case), ten (gold) Māḍhas and thirty Pauṭīs of paddy. Having deposited these two (items, viz.,) paddy (and) gold (that had been borrowed by) Tapōrāja-mahāmuni, to Uttarēśvara-nāyaka, Durgābhaṭṭa-āchārya calculated the sum (payable to him by Tapōrāja-mahāmuni). On the paddy and gold being considered together (and) the capital and interest being calculated, (the whole amount was found to be) one hundred and eighty (gold) Māḍhas─ 180.
