Translation by Emmanuel Francis

(1) Prosperity! Fortune!

...

(209) I, Karuṇākara Ācārya, alias Saṅkara Kāṭāṭi, master carpenter residing in Kuvaḷālam¹ in Kuvaḷālanāṭu, I have engraved the letters of this order while [the king] graciously uttered [it] with his glorious mouth.

(210) Do not forget virtue/dharma (aṟam). Other than virtue/dharma (aṟam), there is no refuge/help/support (tuṇai).

(211) Sentient beings should protect [this donation]!
