whereas the lord Naraciṅkapaṉmar,² his glorious younger brother, has come, acting according to his orders,
whereas Periyuṭaiyāṉ, the son of the lord Naraciṅkapaṉmar, and Ara(caka)ṇāyaṉ, his younger brother, allied with Karuppukkaṭṭi Nāyakkar and became traitors, having opposed to our lord and to us,

…We expell (puṟakkaṭittōm) the three of them, these Periyuṭaiyān, Aracakaṇāyaṉ and their younger brother Amaṭṭāḻvaraṉ, all together with their wives and progeny (peṇṭiḻantāṉkuṭṭattil) as traitors to our king and traitors to our country.
