Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

(Line 1.) Hail ! Prosperity ! In the 4th year (of the reign) of king Parakēsarivarman who took the head of the Pāṇḍya (king), Dēvayaṉ Puḻalakkaṉ alias Avaṉiśikhāmaṇi, a palace-woman (living) in (the quarter called) kīḻaivēḷam of Uḍaiyapirāṭṭiyār Kiḻānaḍigaḷ, the mother of Āṉaimēṟṟuñjiṉār, at Tañjāvūr in Tañjāvūr-kūṟṟam, gave one lamp-stand for a perpetual lamp to the god Paramēśvara (Śiva) of Tirukkīḻkōṭṭam at Tirukkuḍamūkkil, a dēvadāna in Vaḍa garai-Pāmbūr-nāḍu.

(L. 9.) (She also) gave ninety sheep for burning this perpetual lamp daily as long as the moon and the sun (endure) with one uḻakku of ghee. The shepherd Maṉṟaṉ Kuṇamāri of this village received 45 (out of these ninety) sheep and receiving (these) forty-five agreed to measure out three nāḻi and three uḻākku of ghee for one month at one āḻākku every day and the shepherd Ayalañji Maṉṟaṉ of this village received 45 sheep agreeing to measure out for the sacred lamp three nāḻi and three āḻākku of ghee for one month at one āḻākku every day. In this way . . . . . . . . .
