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).
