kāliyū

## Apparatus

⟨1⟩ kāliyū • The inscription stops short here (Subrahmanya Aiyer 1928,
p. 158, n. 1). Evidently kāliyūr-k-kōṭṭatu was intended, followed
presumably by taṉ kūṟṟu Uttaramēru-c-caturvvetimaṅkalattu sabhaiyōm or a
variant of it. Compare other inscriptions from Uttiramērūr.

## Translation

⟨1⟩ Prosperity! Fortune!

⟨1⟩ Tenth year of the victorious king Tantivikkiramaparumaṉ.[1]

⟨1⟩ ⟨in⟩ the Kāliyū⟨r-k-kōṭṭam⟩
