Prosperity! Fortune!

Fifteenth year of the victorious king Kampavarmar.Sanskrit Kampavarman.

Writ/Writing of I, Tāḻiccāni, Brahmin lady and younger wife iḷaiyāḷ of Āgnicitta-sarvakratu, a caṉaṟkumāra-caturvedin of Kumuḻūr, one among the governing delegates of Uttaramērucaturvedimaṅgala in the Kāliyūrkkōṭṭam and the division of the same name.

One plot which joins/is south of the plot that I gave, having bought it as my dowry aṅkamaṇi, after giving wealth dravya from my dowry, in Mullaivāyil, from a resident of Ciṟupaḻuvūr; the plot that I gave earlier muṉṉam as arcanābhoga has become āṉār one who will have kāṭṭuvippār daily glorious amr̥ta nāḷ-t tiru-amitu given to the Mahādeva in the temple that we have built in Mullaivāyil.

As long as the earth and the sun nilamum ñāyaṟum uḷḷa tuṇaiyum, We, the members of the assembly of Uttarameruccaturvedimaṅgala will, looking favourably/overseeing up to the end kaṭai-k kaṇṭu, have the glorioys amr̥ta given.
