எஞ்சாத வாட்டாயன் அடியார்க்கும் அடியேன்

"am the slave to both Māṉakkañcaṟaṉ of unbounded liberality and who had strong shoulders like the mountain, and Tāyaṉ who had a sickle and who never was lax in his service to god."

Thevaram 7.39.2 (lines 6), thevaaram.org: https://www.thevaaram.org/thirumurai_1/songview.php?thiru=7&Song_idField=70390&padhi=039&startLimit=2&limitPerPage=1&sortBy=&sortOrder=DESC ; English gloss from the same page (Translation: V.M. Subramanya Aiyar, French Institute of Pondicherry / EFEO 2006)

Thayanar, a Vellala of Kanamangalam, offered red rice, red greens and tender mango pickle to Shiva every day. Even in poverty, working as a labourer, he kept this offering.

One day he stumbled from hunger and the offering spilled into a crack in the earth. Grieving, he began to cut his own throat with his sickle (arivaal), and Shiva's hand rose from the crack to stop him.
