Translation by Emmanuel Francis

(1) Prosperity! Fortune

(1) 18th year of the glorious king Kulottuṅga, the emperor of the three worlds.

(2–4) I, ... so that it proceeds as long as the moon and the sun endure ...

(5) From this he who seizes even anything very small obtains the sin of killing a tawny cow on the bank of the Gaṅgā.

(5) He who had this released is Āṇṭār Amarapuyaṅkapperumāḷ.

(5) The Paṉmāheśvaras are protection [to this].

Translation by Srinivasan and Reiniche 1990

Hail! Prosperity! [It is] the year 18 [of the reign] of [the king] Tiripuvaṉaccakkaravattikaḷ (emperor over the three worlds) śrī-Kulōttuṅkacōḻatēvar. I, Kalitēvaṉ, alias CokkapperumāḷaliasMuraiyātarāyaṉ, the son of Mātēvar, gave as tiruppaḷḷi eḻuccipuṟam¹ for the god Tiruvaṇṇāmalai uṭaiya nāyaṉār, Mērāṉpaḷḷi, situated in Cāliyūr-paṟṟu on the eastern side of the Muraicūr-nāṭu with all the lands within its four boundaries where stones marked with trident symbol were put, to last as long as the moon and the sun endure, by engraving [the document] on the stone. If any one took away oru mācciṉam (an iota) of this gift, he would be considered to have committed the sin of one who had killed a tawny cow on the bank of the Gaṅgā. This was released by Āṇṭār Amarapuyaṅkapperumāḷ. [This is] protected by the Paṉ-Māheśvaras.
