Hail! Prosperity! This is the sixth regnal year of king Tribhuvana-cakravarti Vīrarājendra-cōḻa.

The endowment vipavam which Vāṇarāyapēraiyaṉ, alias Kōvaṉ Vaḷaiyamaḻakiyāṉ, has allocated is to be given for those ritual articles, including the food supply fixed paṭi-v-iṭṭu for singing the tiruccāḻal hymn and for the food offering tiru-v-amutu paṭikkum to the goddess Āḷuṭaiya-Nācciyār of the temple of god Nalla-Nāyanār.

The apportioned koṇṭuvarukiṟa share vāku is allotted to four people so that the vēli of land is given, which was previously mentioned muṉṉaṭi kūvi eṉṟu as being within the temple endowments tēvatāṉaṅkaḷil for this god.

I have inscribed it in stone after pouring water over the sacred feet of the goddess Āḷuṭaiya Nācciyār. I, Vāṇarāyapēraiyaṉ, alias Kōvaṉ Vaḷaiyamaḻakiyāṉ, am the one declaring this:

“Let the sin of killing one thousand tawny cows on the banks of the Ganges fall upon whoever violates it,” which is under the oath cattiyam of Vallavaraiyaṉ.

This is under the protection of the holy māheśvaras śrī māheśvara rakṣai
