Translation by Emmanuel Francis

(1) Prosperity! Fortune!

II–III

So that [this temple] stands as a stone temple [made] with black stones for the Lord (īcar¹) with red matted hairs² in gracious/perfect/eminent Tiruttaṇi

Lovingly/with devotion (virumpi-y-ē³), the glorious Nampi Appi, who has learned all good arts, beautifully (poṟpu amaiya⁴) made it (ceytāṉ purintu⁵).

(3–4) This veṇpa has been graciously sung by Perumāṉaṭikaḷ⁶ himself.
