"am the slave of famous Pukaḻttuṇai whose mind was always at the feet of Civaṉ who danced to make the cobra, tied on the tiger`s skin which was worn round the waist, to dance"

An Adi Shaiva priest of Seruvilipputhur who worshipped Shiva by the Agama rules. During a famine, weak with hunger, he let the water pot fall on the Linga as he bathed it, and fainted.
Shiva appeared in his dream and promised a gold coin each day until the famine ended. He found the coin at the altar every day and continued his worship.
