Seventeenth year of the king Parakesarivarman.

In this year in the Uṟattūrkkūṟṟam there is one kaḻañcu of gold that gave for the Cattaṇam.

This gold, as long as the moon and the sun,

cattaṇattukku. The meaning of this word is unclear. It appears to be a dative designating the beneficiary of the gift.

Not reported so far, it seems.
