5th year of the victorious king Tantippōttaraiyaṉ.Sanskrit Dantin + Tamil Pōttaraiyaṉ. That is, the Pallava king Dantin, that is, Dantivarman Pallava.

This is the pond that Kalimūrkka-Iḷavaraiyaṉ, alias Vāḻi Vaṭukaṉ, a servant of the honourable king Pērati, alias Māṟappiṭuviṉār, made; its name is the Vāli tank.

The feet of he who protects this pond are on my head.
