"am the slave of the chief of Kaḷantai, who bore the name of Kūṟṟaṉ and who had a vāl of sharp end."
Thevaram 7.39.6 (lines 7), thevaaram.org: https://www.thevaaram.org/thirumurai_1/songview.php?thiru=7&Song_idField=70390&padhi=039&startLimit=6&limitPerPage=1&sortBy=&sortOrder=DESC ; English gloss from the same page (Translation: V.M. Subramanya Aiyar, French Institute of Pondicherry / EFEO 2006)

A chieftain of Kalanthai who chanted the Panchakshara and conquered many kingdoms. He asked the brahmins of Thillai to crown him, but they refused, as they crowned only the Chola line.

He prayed to Nataraja, and Shiva appeared in his dream and placed His own sacred feet on his head as his crown.
