1 Prosperity! Fortune!
1-3 In the year Kilaka, which was current in the Śaka year 1410th, in the month of Tulā, in the dark forthnight, under the nakṣatra Makara, which coincides with a Wednesday.
3-16 The glorious ... Kōnēridevamahārāja, to the temple trustees of the temple [in] Cīkāḻi, having ordered/arranged (kaṟpittu) ... (paṭiyum) ... (paṭiyum) ... (paṭiyum) ... according to (paṭi) a lease contract (kuttakai) in the name of Kurukularāyaṉ ... having proceeded (naṭatti) so as to cease the discontinuity (tāḻvu āṟa↓1) of the glorious service (tiruppaṇi) ... let it be (irukkavum) ...
16-18 ... so as to cease the discontinuity of the glorious service, let it proceed (naṭattavum) ...
18-19 ... let it be (irukkavum) ...
19 [...]
20-21 Let prosperity be!
21-22 [This is] a pious donation (dharma) that he (ivar) had made (paṇṇuvita) ... in the name↓2 of Puṣpavanapperumāḷ Kurukularāyar, Lord of Vaṅkāram in the Iruṅkoḷapāṇṭinātu.
The choice of the formulaic stanza, praising the protection of the gift, makes here perfect sense, since the transaction concerns the restoration of a donation that had been disrupted.
