Edition

⟨1⟩ kō-vicaiya-(na)ra-ciṅka-parumaṟki […]

⟨2⟩ takaṭū[r] [**] [E]ṟinta ñā[ṉṟu] [***] [unknown number of lost lines]

Apparatus

⟨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.

⟨2⟩ takaṭū[r] [2+] [E]ṟinta ñā[ṉṟu] [3+] ⬦ takaṭū [4+] ṟinta ñā [5+] S.

Translation

⟨1⟩ ⟨Xth year⟩ of the victorious king (Na)raciṅkaparumaṉ.¹

⟨2⟩ […], [who died] at the time (ñāṉṟu) of attacking (eṟinta) Takaṭūr.
