Prosperity! This is the royal order issued on the day of the full moon in the bright half of the month of Pushya of the year Isvara which was current after the expiry of the prosperous and victorious year Salivāhana-Saka 1439, by the glorious Mahārājādhirāja, Rajaparamēśvara, the conqueror of hostile kings, the destroyer of those kings who break their word, the establisher of the kingdom of the Yavanas, the confiscator of the kingdom" of the Gajapati king Pratāpa-Rudra, the glorious Vira-Krishnadevaraya-Mahārāya, conveying the charitable edict to remit jodi and ara bu pēru as sarvamänya to the Siva, Vishnu and other temples in the Chola country.
