## Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 7th year (of the reign) of king
Pārthivēndrādhipativarman, Kumaraḍi-naṅgai, daughter of Nandiri-naṅgai,
daughter of Dēvaṉār of Tiruvūṟal, (a suburb) of Takkōlam, gave
ninety-six sheep which would neither die nor grow old, to the god
(āḻvār) of Tiruvūṟal for a perpetual lamp. Paiyaṉ Tiruvūṟal was the
shepherd who took charge (of these ninety-six sheep) and agreed to
supply daily one uḻakku of liquid ghee (neyyeṇṇai). The sacred feet of
those who protect this charity shall be on (my) head.
