    Translation by Emmanuel Francis

    1-3 Fifteenth [year] of the victorious king Indravarman. 

    4-10 Ātaṉ of Mēlūr [is] he who died in a battle (pūcal) which occurred (ōṭiṉa) with the king (aracarai↓1) of Mīkoṉṟaināṭu.

    Commentary

    The Indravarman of the regnal year is probably one among the Pallava kings named Mahendravarman.
