Mahārāja Śatrudamana’s order in respect of the grant recorded in the document was issued to the villagers (grāmān in the sense of grāmeyakān), headed by Brāhmaṇas and others, residing at the three localities called Duhāgrāma, Vasuvāṭaka and Govāṭaka within what is called the agrahāra (revenue-free area in the possession of Brāhmaṇas) of Giri-Kaliṅga-Varddhamāna (i.e. the Varddhamāna agrahāra in the Giri-Kaliṅga district).
