"am slave to Mūrtti also who ruled the Pāṇṭiyanatu with the help of three things"
Thevaram 7.39.3 (lines 1), thevaaram.org: https://www.thevaaram.org/thirumurai_1/songview.php?thiru=7&Song_idField=70390&padhi=039&startLimit=3&limitPerPage=1&sortBy=&sortOrder=DESC ; English gloss from the same page (Translation: V.M. Subramanya Aiyar, French Institute of Pondicherry / EFEO 2006)
A merchant of Madurai who ground sandal paste every day for the Lord of the Alavai temple. When a Karnataka king who followed Jainism seized Madurai and stopped his supply of sandalwood, he ground his own elbow on the stone, and Shiva's voice stopped him.
After that king died, the royal elephant chose Murthi as king. He ruled the Pandya land wearing only holy ash, rudraksha and matted hair as his three emblems.
