Apparatus

¹ s(va)⟨sti⟩ • The letter va looks like pa. — ¹ -paruma¡k=ku!⟨rk=ku⟩ • It seems that the engraver first wrote kora and, realising his mistake, transformed the ra into ca.

Translation by Emmanuel Francis

¹Fifteenth year of the king Rājakesarivarman.

²Naṅkaiyār Aṉantam Paḻiyili ... (vaḻiyu)

Commentary

The inscription stops short in line 2 after vaḻiyu and seems to have been left unfinished.

²Naṅkaiyār Aṉantam Paḻiyili ("our unbounded and irreproachable lady"?) is possibly the donor.
