Nelveli Māraṉ alias Viraveḷ wore the beautiful crown under the name of Kulaśekhara Pānḍya, in the presence of the lord of the Universe at Teṉkâśi, on the twenty-ninth of the month Chittirai with the Rôhiṇi nakshatra in the dark half of the same month, in the year Paridâpi, which corresponded to the Śaka year one thousand four hundred and seventy-four; the kings of other countries showed their respect to him on this occasion.

Is it possible to mention another king who wore the crown in the manner in which it was done by the king of rare qualities, Kulaśêkhara Pâṇḍya, the wielder of the spear which seeks battle, who, feeling that flower garlands would all fade away, put on a garland of verses in the veṇbâ metre sung in praise of him by the poets?

Be it well.
