Translation

⟨1⟩ Prosperity! Fortune!

⟨1–3⟩ 39th year of the king Parakesarivarman who took Maturai and Īḻam.

⟨3–8⟩ There should be service of food-offering with rice … at every caṅkirānti¹ for the lord of Tiruvāvaṭutuṟai, ⟨at the initiative of⟩ Nakkaṉ ⟨of⟩ Kaṇṇipuliyūr, lord of Taḷikkaṭampūr in Kārnāṭu, ⟨which is⟩ a devadāna on the northern bank.

⟨9–10⟩ There should be sprinkling (sna¿m?⟨p⟩aṉam²) with eight pots for two ayana-saṃkrāntis ...

⟨10–16⟩ ⟨There are⟩ eight kaḻañcus of gold ...

⟨16–21⟩ The land bought for this gold ⟨is⟩

west of ...,
north of ...,
east of ...,
south of ... .

⟨21–25⟩ [For] the three mās of land ⟨comprised within these boundaries⟩ we have given a permanent endowment as long as the moon and the sun, ⟨that is⟩ Kaṟṟaḷi Piccaṉ and the temple officers, we such persons.

⟨25–26⟩ This ⟨is under⟩ the protection of the many great devotees of Śiva.
