For this glorious temple, for its arcanābhoga, let it be that should be obtained a quarter cēy bought ...

Let it be that those who ... should receive a fine of twenty-five kaḻañcus of gold ...

I, Paḻiyili Ciṟiya Naṅkai have this made as for ... tēyapukkikku of the priest Uruttiraṉ.That is, a Tamil tadbhava of Sanskrit Rudra.

It has been made ... tēyapukku of the priest Uruttiraṉ.

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