Prosperity! Fortune!

Second year of the glorious VayiramēkavarmanThat is, Sanskrit Vajrameghavarman..

We, the members of the assembly of Poykainallūr in the Tāmaṟkōṭṭam.

For the Mahādeva, Lord of the glorious Tiruvakaṭtīśvaram of this village permanent food offerings that has given as glorious food offerings

On the identity of Vayiramēkavarman, that is, Sanskrit Vajrameghavarman, see : The surname Vayiramēkaṉ [fn3] is applied to Dantivarman in the Triplicane inscription [fn4]. As the characters of the present SII 12, no. 113 = DHARMA_INSPallava00264 and the following inscription SII 12, no. 114 = DHARMA_INSPallava00265 belong to a later period than Dantivarman, the king figuring in these two records was probably different. A certain chieftain named Vayiramēkaṉ alias Vāṇakōvaraiyar figures in two inscriptions from Tiruvoṟṟiyūr [fn5], with whom Vayiramēkavarman of the present record may be identified.
