## Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

Hail ! Prosperity ! In the [3]rd year of (the reign of) king
Pārthivēndravarman, we the merchants (nagarattōm) gave gold that would
secure annually nine mañjāḍi by means of interest in a lump-sum from the
third (year) as long as the moon and the sun (endure), for one sacred
sleeping cot given by Arumoḻinaṅgaiyār, wife of the king (uḍaiyār), to
(the temple of) Tiruvūral-Āḷvār at Takkōlam.
