    Translation by Emmanuel Francis

    1Prosperity! Fortune!

    1-4We, the members of the assembly of Kāmapullūr in Vacukūrnāṭu [itself as subdivision in the Palkuṉṟakkōṭṭam ...] one and a half [...] obtained as a favour (? pratigraha) from [...] We have given [it] to Naraciṅkattiruvēti↓1 [of] Uṟuppuṭṭūr, [We, the members of the assembly ...].

    4-5[...] ... one hundred twenty kāṭis of paddy ... [...]

    Commentary

    ARIE 1938-1939 (p. 39): "Continuation of lines lost. Seems to register a gift of land by the assembly of Kāmappullūr to a certain Naraciṅkattiruvēti of Uṟuppuṭṭūr." ARIE 1938-1939 (p. 91): "probably as a bhaṭṭavṛtti."
