Prosperity! Fortune!

10th year of the king Rājarājakesarivarman, who apportioned pots in Kāntaḷūr-cālai.

This is the hand-writing of We, the villagers from Vēḷkaḷa-veṇpākkam, in the vicinity puṟamAlternatively: "from Vēḷkaḷa-veṇpākkam, in the tax-free land puṟam of Govintapāṭi." of the glorious Govintapāṭi in Tāmar-nāṭu.

This is the manner in which, we, having received it from the hand of Muvēnta Piṭavūr Vēḷār alias -uṭaiyaṉ Arunilai Śrīkṛṣṇaṉ, the accountant of Piṭavūr-nāṭu, on the northern bank, in the Cōḻa-nāṭu, received these 20 gold coins of superior quality tuḷai kaṭava cempoṉ tanma-kaṭṭaḷaiyāl.

From the month of Puraṭṭāti of this year, there are 3 kaḻañcus of gold coming each year as interest, kaḻañcinṉ vāy tiṅkaḷ iraṇṭum-ā.

Let the priests nampimār, who do the daily sacred services śrīkāryam ceykiṉṟa for the Lord be appointed as collectors taṇṭi iṭuvippatu. Every year, the interest of three kaḻañcus of gold so that there be: two kaḻañcus for the leaders of the assembly paridai nāyakaṉmār, who sing āṭiṉa, on the seventh day of the holy festival for this God, the holy hymn tiruppatiyam that begins with kōlanaṟkuḻal and that Muvēnta Piṭavūr Vēḷār alias Kāyāvāṉ Arunilai, his father ivar tam appaṉārThat is, Kāyāvāṉ Arunilai is the father of the donor Arunilai Śrīkṛṣṇaṉ., composed viṇṇapam ceyta in honour of the Lord āḻvāṉ of holy Govintapāṭi, and a kaḻañcu for the priests of the temple kōyil nampimār, who commissioned kēṭppitta it.

If we appoint them, let them be entitled to impose a fine taṇṭam tiruvāṇai maṟaiyum paṭṭu tēvakanmikaḷ .

Let us have the duty kaṭavōm of enforcing in this manner this agreement nivantam that covers the fine taṇṭam imposed by them.

Having agreed in this manner, We, the villagers of Vēḷkaḷa-Veṇpākkam, gave for the sake of Muvēnta Piṭavūr Vēḷār.

I, Āṟaiyāṉ, the preceptor from holy Govintapāṭi, I have engraved this stone inscription, as enjoined by the villagers.

These are my writings.

This is under the protection of the holy Vaiṣṇavas.
