Encoded and translated here by Emmanuel Francis (2024), based on Dayalan 2005, not sufficiently reliable. The distinction between vowel akṣaras and markers, and between Grantha and Tamil letters, cannot be implemented with full confidence. The present digital edition is thus provisional and should be revised with proper visual documentation.

Notes

1. Tentative translation based on reading tirunaṟuṅ koṇtai, presuming that this is the name of a major deity of the site.
2. That is, the donation consists in the interest of ten gold currencies.
3. Jain shrines.
