Apparatus

⟨3⟩ kāṇamuma⟨4⟩(t)tu ⬦ kāṇamuma⟨4⟩(t)tu N; kāṇamu⟨4⟩(mattu) IP.

⟨4⟩ pānilai ⬦ pānilai N; (pānilai) IP.

⟨7⟩ uḷaṉāyilum ⬦ uḷaṉāyilum N; uḷaṉayilum IP • IP’s reading appears to be the result of a typo.

⟨8⟩ ture [1+] ⬦ ture [1+] N; (ture) [1+] IP • IP also considers the gap of one character as unclear.

⟨9⟩ Aṭai-c ⬦ Aṭai-c N; A{yi}ṭai-c IP • IP reads a(yi)ḍai, which I interpret as surplus, but what his parentheses means is in fact unclear.

Translation

⟨1⟩ Fortune!

⟨1⟩ Thirty-third year of Nantippōttaraicar.¹
