Translation by Emmanuel Francis

(1) Prosperity! Fortune!

(1) I, Kanticcāṉi, a Brahman lady, [wife of] Kuravaciri Tukkaṭi Bhaṭṭa of Uttaramērucaturvedimaṅgala, I have given for the Cittirakūṭam that the great men of this village have built.

(2) I have given ten poṉ for the sake of a glorious lamp for Nārāyaṇasvāmi.

(2) The feet of the members of the assembly who will protect this [pious donation] are on the head of me, [their] servant.
