⟨1⟩ || ௳ • EI considers this as the final punctuation of the inscription Tamil Nadu 163, which ends in the same epigraphical line, right before the present inscription. But as the former inscription itself starts with the same punctuation, it makes sense to consider that this is the initial punctuation of the present inscription.

Translation by Emmanuel Francis

(1–2) 5th year of the glorious king Rājādhirāja, emperor of the three worlds.
