Translation by Emmanuel Francis

(1) Prosperity! Fortune!

(1) Twentieth year of the victorious king Kampavarman.

(1–5) The gold that […] Paṭṭāṉ, [one] among the governing delegates (āluṅ kaṇattār) of Kāvatippākkam in the Paṭuvūrkkōṭṭam, has given so as to provide water in the glorious temple of Perumāṉaṭikaḷ [in] Tiruppontai in Rājamallaccaturvecimaṅgala: eleven kaḻañcus.

(5) With the interest coming from this gold, I have given so as to provide water.

(5–6) The dust from the glorious feet of he who protects this pious act are on my head.
