Hail! Prosperity! [This is] the year opposite to the year, opposite to the 4th year […] of king Māṟañcaṭaiyaṉ. We, the Sabhā of Tuṟaiyūrkkuṭi in […] carāvurnāṭu, [for] Mahādeva of Tirukkuraṅkāṭutuṟai in Tiraimūrnāṭu […] as long as the moon and the sun endure, everyday, will have to supply (aṭṭakkaṭava) one uri of oil. This is under the protection of the Paṉmāheśvaras.
