• TRANSLATION. (Lines 1-1200m. Hail! (There is) Maharaja Pra[tāpa]kfla who has attained Palichamahatabda, who is endowed with all the distinctive marks of royalty, whose person is decked with the multitude of all good qualities, who is possessed of tranquility, courage, bravery, modesty, truth and purity, who has attained victories with numerous four-tusked elephants ...... While he is ruling over the earth Davana-Druhata (Drubhata?), the son of his own eldest brother King Utaragana, who is dependent on his lotus-like feet, is devoted to him and is wholly engaged in (serving) him, who regards him as his own father and thinks that there is no higher gift than that of land for the attainment of any religious merit and good fortune, donates on (the occasion of a solar eclipse the village Nandapura (situated) at a distance of only one gavyata (4 miles) in the south-eastern direction of Sri-Parnikheta to Brahmins, the foremost of whom are-Sarman, Somasvamin, Shashthikumāra, Nagasarman and Adityasarman. Let it be known to the Purohita Isvarabhatta, Nāgammabhatta, the Bhögika Govinda, the freshthin Gülamma and the Senapati Durggahari at (our) Srikarana (record office) as also to all kings that this religious order, which prohibits the entry of chātas (courtiers) and bhatas (soldiers) (in the donated village), must be obeyed by all.
[LI. 12-18 contain three of the customary verses.]
Knowing this, this order should be obeyed. May there be well-being and increase of religious merit! This village which has the following) well-defined boundaries has the village Vyāghraviraka on the east, the village Bhrama aka on the south, Sri-Parņikagrāma which forms the boundary of the (donated) village on the west and Chhõbaviraka-grāma on the north. This copper edict was written (i.e., drafted) by the Sēnāpati Durggahari, who is a bee that has issued out of the lotus-like foot of Sri-Govinda-Vishnu.
