⟨6–10⟩ For this glorious temple, for ⟨its⟩ arcanābhoga, let it be that should be obtained a quarter cēy bought ...

⟨10–13⟩ Let it be that those who ... should ⟨receive⟩ a fine of twenty-five kaḻañcus of gold ...

⟨13–16⟩ I, Paḻiyili Ciṟiya Naṅkai have this made as for ... (tēyapukkikku) ⟨of⟩ the priest Uruttiraṉ.²
