Translation by Krishna Sastri 1920

Hail! Prosperity! Mātēvaṭikaḷār alias the glorious Cempiyaṉ Mātēviyār, queen of Gaṇḍarādityadeva, constructed in the sacred name of her husband [viz.,] the glorious Gaṇḍarādityadeva, a stone temple to the lord [i.e., the god] of Tirunallam [at the time] when her illustrious son, i.e., the glorious Madhurāntakadeva alias the glorious Uttama-Coḷa, was graciously ruling. This is [the image of] the glorious Gaṇḍarādityadeva which was [caused to be] made in this sacred stone temple in the posture of worshipping the sacred feet of the lord [i.e., the god] of Tirunallam.

Translation into French by Cane 2017
