Translation by Valérie Gillet

Commentary

(1) Rājakesarin is probably Sundaracōḻa, during whose reign the Paḻuvēṭṭaraiyar Maṟavaṉ Kaṇṭaṉār was ruling over Paḻuvūr.

(1) The inscription is engraved over two consecutive wall sections.

(10) This line was forgotten in the edition of South Indian Inscriptions.
