    Apparatus

    1 kāliyū • The inscription stops short here (Subrahmanya Aiyer 1928: page 158, note 1). Evidently kāliyūr-k-kōṭṭatu was intended, followed presumably by taṉ kūṟṟu Uttaramēru-c-caturvvetimaṅkalattu sabhaiyōm or a variant of it. Compare other inscriptions from Uttiramērūr.

    Translation by Emmanuel Francis

    1 Prosperity! Fortune!

    1 Tenth year of the victorious king Dantivikramavarman. 

    1 [in] the Kāliyū[r-k-kōṭṭam]
