Apparatus

⟨1⟩ (o/e)⟨2⟩[(ṭṭ/ḻ/ṉṟ)ā](va)tu • Three different readings are possible for the regnal year: 61st (Āṟupatt’ oṉṟāvatu), 67th (Āṟupatt’ ēḻāvatu), and 68th (Āṟupatt’ eṭṭāvatu). In ARIE, the reading 69th is suggested, but there is not enough space on the stone to accomodate three characters in the gap and obtain Āṟupatt’ oṉpatāvatu.

⟨2⟩ mi(l/y)i-vaḻi • The reading is mīlvaḻi according to ARIE. It is possible that mēl-vaḻi is meant.

⟨5⟩ [ca. 4+] _ [ca. 6+] • The upper part of the headdress of the left-hand figure (represented below the inscription on the stele) comes between these two lacunae.

Translation by Emmanuel Francis and Valérie Gillet
