"am the slave of Pūcal of Niṉṟavūr whose mouth was always chanting the Vētam of everlasting fame, of Māṉi with bangles having lines, and of Nēcaṉ."
Thevaram 7.39.11 (lines 1,2), thevaaram.org: https://www.thevaaram.org/thirumurai_1/songview.php?thiru=7&Song_idField=70390&padhi=039&startLimit=11&limitPerPage=1&sortBy=&sortOrder=DESC ; English gloss from the same page (Translation: V.M. Subramanya Aiyar, French Institute of Pondicherry / EFEO 2006)

A brahmin of Thiruninravur who wished to build a temple for Shiva but had no means. So he built it in his mind, stone by stone, and fixed a day for its consecration.

On that same day the Pallava king had fixed the consecration of his great stone temple at Kanchi. Shiva told the king in a dream that He would be at Pusalar's temple that day, and the king went to see Pusalar and bowed to him.
