Translation by Emmanuel Francis

(1–3) Tirthy-third [year] of the victorious king Mahendravarman¹.

(3–13) [This is] the stone [of] the son [of] Poṅkiyār, [who was also] the younger son (iḷa-makaṉ) [of] Poṉṉi(taṉ)ṉār, the honourable paternal uncle [of] Kantaviṇṇaṉār², he who fell hit (eytu) [by] a knife, when Kantaviṇṇaṉār, the nephew [of] the royal Bāṇa king marched (ceṉṟu³) ¿[in] Vēlmaṟutti? against (mēl⁴) Poṉṉarampaṉār, the nephew [of] the royal Bāṇa king.
