1Prosperity! Fortune!
1-2Twenty-fifth [year] of Nantippōttaracar.
2-9[For] the Subrahmaṇya of Tiruvāṉpūr in the Peyyūriḷaṅkōṭṭam, in that manner, ¿among? (-uḷḷum) fifty-five kaḻañcus of gold, we have ordered/declared [these/some of these] kaḻañcus of gold that the Matuvārs had given as tax-free land for a lamp ¿and offerings?, at the request/petition of Āḷuva Aracar whereas the order/execution was [by] Caḷukki Aracar.
9-10The nāṭṭārs, the Ūrārs, and the ruler shall not forget (maṟavaṟka) this pious act (aṟam)!
3Tiruvāṉpūr = Tiruvāṉmūr, according to Mahalingam 1988.
5Matuvārs = toddy drawers?
On the identity of Caḷukki Aracar and Āḷuva Aracar, see Mahalingam 1960. Caḷukki Aracar appears to be the executor of the order of a superior king (Nandivarman II Pallava?) rather than the issuer and/or executor of his own order.
