EPIGRAPHIA INDICA
8 yarayan muppadin kâḍi nellum añ-kalañju[1]
TRANSLATION. Hail ! Prosperity ! In the twelfth year of the increasing years of the glorious Dantivarma-Mahârâja, who was the ornament of the Pallava family (and) the lord adorning the Bhâradvâja gôtra,─ the priests of the Tiruvallikkêṇi (temple) having mortgaged the field in Karumârachchêri, the offering for the god accruing from (?) the interest of forty-five kâḍis of paddy fell short. Pugalttuṇai-Viśaiyarayan gave thirty kâḍis of paddy and five kalañjus of gold, redeemed (the field), and made (it) his own. With two nâlis of clean pounded rice (made) from five nalis of paddy, (the interest on)[5] forty-five kâḍis (of paddy) per day, Śaṅgaśarman, Śaṭṭiśarman and the younger Śaṭṭiśarman shall present the night offering. If (this) fails, we shall present the offering out of the master’s share in Avippulam,[6] Dattan’s field and Kâraikilân’s field. Having agreed that any one concerned in this charity might do what the king could and carry it out, we gave (it). The Îla-lamp,[7] the cup (and) the metal pot have to be taken care of. This (is) Pugalttuṇai-Viśaiyaraiyan’s charity. The two feet of those who protect this (charity) shall be on my head. Hail ! _____________________________ ________________________________________________________________
