TRANSLATION.

Success ! (Line 1.) The years . . (of the reign) of the glorious Mahârâja Vijaya-Skandavarman.

(L. 2.) Chârudêvî, the queen of the Yuvamahârâja, the Bhâradvâja, the glorious Vijaya-Buddhavarman (of the family) of the Pallavas, (and) mother of [Buddhyaṅ]kura, (addresses the following order) [to the official at] Ka[ṭaka] :─

(L. 5.) “ The field to be ploughed by Âtuka on the northern side of the drinking-well below the King’s Tank (Râjataḍâka), (containing) four─ 4─ nivartanas of land, has been given by Us, making (it) a means for increasing Our length of life and power,^[6] to the god Nârâyaṇa of the Kûḷi-Mahât[â]raka temple at Dâlûra.

(L. 10.) “ Knowing this, ye, the villagers (and) officials, exempt (this field) with all immunities, (and) cause (it) to be exempted ! ”^[7]

^[1]The anusvâra is distinctly visible after the nî at the end of the preceding line.
^[2] Read bhûmis=tasya.
^[3] Read –dattâṁ.
^[4] Read yô harêta.
^[5] Read ºguttostti.─ The î of Rohaṇîº has an unusual shape ; perhaps the sra of –sahasrasya in the preceding line interfered with its proper execution. The ttâ of ºguttâ= looks almost like vvâ.
^[6] The Sanskṛit equivalent of the words amhaṁ âyu-bala-vaddhanîyaṁ occurs in the Uravupalli grant : Ind. Ant. Vol. V. p. 52, text line 27 f. Instead of vaddhanîyaṁ, the corresponding portions of the Hîrahaḍagalli, Mayidavôlu and Koṇḍamudi plates have vadhanike.
^[7] The corresponding Sanskṛit phrase sarvva-parihâraiḥ pariharata parihârayata cha occurs in the Mâṅgaḷûr grant ; Ind. Ant. Vol. V. p. 156, text line 30.
^[8] On âṇatti see above, Vol. VII. p. 185 and notes 4 and 5.
^[9] In Rohaṇîgutta, Rôhaṇî is a vulgar form of Rôhiṇî, which occurs above, Vol. IV. p. 295, text line 5 ; the usual form in Tamil inscriptions is Urôśaṇi.
