"am the slave of Meypporuḷ who was very greatly victorious on his belief."
Thevaram 7.39.1 (lines 5), thevaaram.org: https://www.thevaaram.org/thirumurai_1/songview.php?thiru=7&Song_idField=70390&padhi=039&startLimit=1&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 the Malayaman line who ruled from Thirukkovalur and honoured the holy ash above all else. His enemy Muthanathan, disguised as a Shaiva ascetic, came to him claiming to bring a rare sacred text and stabbed him as he bowed to receive it.

Even as he fell, Meiporul ordered his guard Dathan to escort the attacker safely out of the city, because he wore the marks of a devotee. Shiva appeared and granted him eternal union.
