## Apparatus

⟨3⟩ 3 • As in the succeeding lines two or more syllables have been built
in at the beginning of each line; perhaps the date consisted of two
figures the first of which may have been one, two or three.

⟨7⟩ rakṣi⟨k⟩ka śipātamela(ṉa) • The last words perhaps stand for the
usual imprecatory clause rakṣippār śrīpātameṉaṟalaimelaṉa.

## Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 3rd year of (the reign of) king
Parakēsarivarman, who took Madirai (Madura), Iśakkaṉayya-Naṅgai, one of
the servants (parivāram) of Kāmaṉiyakkaṉār of . . . . nāḍu, gave one
sacred lamp (to burn) as long as the moon and the sun (last), as a
sacred perpetual light, to (the temple of) the god of Tiruviśalūr in
Amaṉinārāyaṇa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam which was a dēvadāna and a brahmadēya
on the north bank (of the Kāvērī). For this (purpose) (she) gave ninety
sheep. (The assembly of) all Māhēśvaras . . . . . shall protect this.
The sacred feet [of those who protect] (shall be) on (my head).
