• Please don't you[FNote_17] press our bright armlets,
• like Toṇṭi of Poṟaiyaṉ with firm chariot,
• where the little daughter gives, along with the flesh of rich fish,
• pouring forth nice(?) curry(?) stirred with Ayilai fish[FNote_18],
• the cooked rice with milk(?) from paddy, for which the price had been salt,
• to [her] father who had been kept back by [his] tasks in the long boat
• with pretty nets with straight staffs that had drawn [according to their] cruel task,[FNote_19]
• while the red prawns are shivering in the extension of the great sea.
• When seeing her turn red, stammering conspiciously(?)[FNote_20]
• about you, who is becoming weak, even when she was playing the Ōrai
• [and] doing the Vaṇṭal together with [her] garlanded companions
• on the shore set with high sand amassed by the cold wind,
• my dutiful/virtueless mother has set up heavy protection,
• to be more tight than [that on] the exactly measured [treasure] hoard
• kept in Kuṭantai by the victorious Cōḻa king with overcoming spear.
