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 mās 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.
