"am slave to Taṇṭi who got perfect eyesight though born blind through the grace of Civaṉ, and mūrkkaṉ,"
Thevaram 7.39.5 (lines 6), thevaaram.org: https://www.thevaaram.org/thirumurai_1/songview.php?thiru=7&Song_idField=70390&padhi=039&startLimit=5&limitPerPage=1&sortBy=&sortOrder=DESC ; English gloss from the same page (Translation: V.M. Subramanya Aiyar, French Institute of Pondicherry / EFEO 2006)

A devotee of Tiruvarur, blind from birth, who dug out the temple tank by guiding himself with ropes tied to posts. Jains whose land bordered the tank mocked him and challenged him.

Shiva restored his sight before all, while his mockers lost theirs, and the king gave his support to the temple work. Dandi Adigal served Shiva all his life and reached His feet.
