This is the 10th year of Kōpparakesarivarman.

To Mahādeva of Śrī Vijaiyamaṅgalam, of the big Śrī Vāṉavaṉ-mahādevi-caturvetimaṅgalam, a brahmadeya on the northern bank, Ampalavaṉ Paḻuvūraṉ alias Śrī Vikkiramacōḻa Mārāyar, who has made ceyvitta this holy stone temple tirukkaṟṟaḷi, for one perpetual lamp, as long as the sun and the moon endure, gave ninety-six goats.

Aṇṭāṭṭu Maḻavar, for Mahādeva of Śrī Vijaiyamaṅgalam, for two perpetual lamps, as long as the sun and the moon endure, gave two shares.

Those are under the protection of the Panmāheśvaras.
