⟨1⟩ […] • S does not mark any gap in his edition (p. 223), but notes (p. 231): “The regnal year quoted in the record is not clear and hence could not be deciphered.” We suspect that the year phrase was in fact given in epigraphical line 2 and that S’s line 2 is in fact line 3.

Translation by Emmanuel Francis
(1) [Umpteenth year] of the victorious king (Na)raciṅkaparumaṉ1.
(2) […], [who died] at the time (ñāṉṟu) of attacking (eṟinta) Takaṭūr.
