Hail! The Kumaramatya (and) Maharaja Nandana, who 
pain on the feet of Devaguru, being in good health from 
an agrahara (a village all the inhabitants of which are Brahmanas). 
Therefore, no one either belonging to my family or others (who 
are) anxious to secure fame and religious matter, should dispossess 
or oppress (them). It is said that donors of lands lead a blissful 
life in heaven for sixty thousand years, and those who dispossess 
or approve such dispossession live in hell for as many years. 
‘Adirect oral command in the year 232, the 20th day of pena 
‘to be protected from the hands of the 8 udras.
