TRANSLATION.
(Verse 1)-Hail! Prosperity! There was at first this water. In its centre (lit. inside), there lay, on the serpent (Sesha)-couch, Hari. From his navel came forth a lotus; and from it, by himself, the creator of the universe (Viśvasrit) came; from him Atri; and from the cavity of his eyes, the Moon; his son was Budha; from him was born Pururavas; and thence came these Pandya lords.
(Verse 2)-Hail! Prosperity! Having ascertained the (proper) time from Sundaresa, (king) Rajagambhiradeva, in the twenty-fifth year of his reign, on the day of Sväti combined with Saturday (Arkki-vära) in the dark fortnight, and on the tithi of Kanakapati (i.e., ēkādasi), when the hot-rayed (Sun) was in the sign Dhanus, ordered to conduct immediately the female elephant to fix the boundaries of the village called after his own name.
(Line 5) The goddess of the flower (i.e., Lakshmi) lovingly taking her seat and the goddess of the earth lawfully uniting with bim; the goddess of war resting on his victorious shoulders; the goddess of the great arts shining on his tongue; the moon-light of his fame shedding its lustre in the The syllables ivai are written as a group.
