Translation by Emmanuel Francis

(1) Prosperity! Fortune!

(1–3) 3rd year of the king Parakesarivarman.

(3–16) So that there be (āka), [from the land], which I, Kaṟṟaḷi Piccaṉ [of] Tiruvāṭutuṟai have bought [in] Ciṟṟāṉaiccūr:

  • where it reaches to the north of the western rice field (mērpulam), six s for/per one person singing the tiruppatiyam;
  • where it reaches south of this, (kāṟ cey), one quarter for/per one who supplies [liquids for] the glorious bath;
  • and, where it reaches south of this, one quarter (tāraṇi-paṭakattukku) for/per glorious drummer;
I have made and given a permanent endowment, I, Kaṟṟaḷi Piccaṉ.

(16–17) This [is under] the protection of the many great devotees of Śiva.
