This is also itu-v-um a copy paṭi of one oru old stone paḻaṅ-kal. This is the 4th year of king Māṟañcaṭaiyaṉ. Kaḷvaṉ, the chieftain araiyaṉ of Paṉaiyūr in Peraiyūrnāṭu, for Mahādeva in Tirukkōṭikkā, gave kuṭutta for a perpetual lamp 15 kaḻañcu of pure gold cempoṉ; with the interests of this gold, having brought kuṇantu to this temple i-t-taḷikkē, having measured aḷantu for the priests arccipārkku, we will give kuṭuppōmāy 4 uḻakku and 1 uḻakku of ghee everyday with 1 uḻakku under the measure piḻaiyānāḻi; we, the Sabhā of Nāraṇakkacaturvedimaṅgalam, have taken koṇṭōm this gold.

This is a copy of an old stone paḻaṅ-kal-paṭi; since it is engraved veṭṭinamai-yil completely ēṟa on this sacred sanctuary śrīvimāṉam, since there is no illāmaiy-il use ubhaiyōkam for the separate stones taṉi-k-kal-l-āl which were lying engraved veṭṭi-kiṭanta with this previous text muṉ-ṉ-i-vājagam, that has been removed taviṉtatu for tavirntatu. If this itu is deficient muṭṭil, the Paṉmāheśvaras will obtain peṟṟār and carry out kaṭai-k-kūṭṭa.
