The year 1675 of the Śalivāhana Śaka era had expired.

The usual later Pāṇḍya introduction here follows.

In the Kollam year 930 Bhava on the auspicious day, the 26th of (the month) Kārttikai, Sunday Uttara nakṣatra the ninth tithi and Āyuṣ-karaṇa, in the reign of Perumāḷ Aḻakaṉ Perumāḷ the Pāṇḍya king Kulaśekharadeva Dikṣitar alias Cīvala Varaguṇarāma, who brought back the past (glory); the two armies, the one of the king of Karnāṭaka and those of the others, the farmers and other labourers established a kaṭṭaḷai (a course of pūjā and offerings) to be daily performed in the evenings: (for which) we agreed to pay annually each at the rate of ten paṇams for one who employs a palanquin: for horsemen, three paṇams; for foot soldiers, one paṇam; and for all others a paṇam. Thus we agreed to pay and conduct the kaṭṭaḷai.

Those that protect this charity would obtain virtue, while those that wish evil to it shall incur sins.

Thus we executed this bond of charity for the evening services of the god Kuttālanāthasvāmin.

As this charity has been placed under the management of the Tiruvāṭutuṟai maṭha, it shall take care of the charity. May the grace of the god Kuttālanāthasvāmin (be with us).
