Prosperity! Fortune!

Fifteenth year of Nantippōttaracar.Sanskrit Nandin + Tamil Pōttaraicar. That is, the Pallava king Nandin, that is Nandivarman II Pallava.

For the Subrahmaṇya of Tiruvāṉpūr in the Peyyūriḷaṅkōṭṭam, in that manner, among -uḷḷum fifty-five kaḻañcus of gold, we have ordered/declared these/some of these kaḻañcus of gold that the Matuvārs had given as tax-free land for a lamp and offerings, at the request/petition of Āḷuva Aracar whereas the order/execution was by Caḷukki Aracar.

The nāṭṭārs, the Ūrārs, and the ruler shall not forget maṟavaṟka this pious act aṟam!

Tiruvāṉpūr = Tiruvāṉmūr, according to .

Matuvārs = toddy drawers?

On the identity of Caḷukki Aracar and Āḷuva Aracar, see . Caḷukki Aracar appears to be the executor of the order of a superior king (Nandivarman II Pallava?) rather than the issuer and/or executor of his own order.
