Mukutika in the division of Kuksha on the bank of the river, as also 
to the inhabitants of the neighbouring villages, who live by service under 
the king, from the respected Brahman to the lowest Meda, Andha and

and for the dispensation of medicines, bedding and seats, to diseased persons,

village as defined, I have given the above-named village of Mukutika, along 
with its surrounding grazing-grounds, with all the waters and lands belong¬ 
ing to it, above and below the surface, together with the mango and the 
madhuka trees, with all its low and barren lands, along with its rents and 
tolls, including all fines for crimes, and rewards for catching thieves. In it 
there shall be no molestation, no passage permitted for Chatas (jugglers) and 
Bhatas (troops). The land shall not be a trouble (to the possessors) who 
shall have the enjoyment of all shares, privileges, gold &c., and other income.

as long as the sun and the moon shall endure, in order that the virtue 
and fame of my parents and of myself may be enhanced. I have given this 
edict engraved to you, honorable S'iva. 
Be it then respected by all; and future kings, knowing the grievous 
sin that is incurred by destroying the great merit of grants-of-land, should 
uphold it. Let the neighbours and those who till the land, be obedient to
