TRANSLATION.
(Line 1.) Hail! Prosperity!
(L. 12.) In the 13th year (of the reign) of king Parakêsarivarman alias the lord Sri-Rajendra-Chôladéva, who,
Read schiavi.
2 Read ttiv-aran.
Other inscriptions read alapp-arum; see South-Ind. Inser. Vol. II. p. 93, note 5.
Read Inairaradanai. That this is the original reading, becomes more than probable in the following mauner: (1) The doubtful word may be expectel to rhyme ou Chandira, the third word before it. (2) The Tanjore inscription No. 20 reads Indiradanai. (3) Indraratha is the only correct Sanskrit name I can think of, which would account for both corrupt readings.
The Tanjore inscriution No. 20 reads kitt-arun-jeri-minai.
Read, as in the Tanjore inscription No. 20, tódu-galar-changuv-ottal.
