Hail! Prosperity!

11th year of glorious king Tribhuvana Cakravarti Rājarāja, on the Revatī day which is a Monday of the tenth day of the fortnight of the tenth month i.e., Mithunā month.

For the purpose of for the rice offering tiruvamutu aricikkum, for the food offerings given to Tiruvātavūr-tēvar who is graciously seated in the third prakāra of the temple of the Lord of Tiruviḻimiḻalai, located in the Uyyakoṇṭār-vaḷanāṭu.

The record may be best assigned to Rājarāja III. Already ARIE gives the exact date as 30 November 1226, which agrees with the eleventh regnal year of Rājarāja III. Moreover, the inscription itself refers back to the nineteenth year of Periya-tēvar Tribhuvana-Vīratēvar, i.e. a common epithet of king Kulōttuṅga III, under whom Sundara Perumāḷ had already bough lands from the temple tēvaraṭiyār for the food offerings given to Tiruvātavūr-tēvar. Thus, the present record seems to be a recalibration or regularization of a previous arrangement done some thirty years back.
