"the slave of Tirunīlakaṇṭar of the potter caste;"

Thevaram 7.39.1 (lines 2), 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 potter of Thillai who made begging bowls for Shiva's devotees. After a fault of his youth, his wife made him swear by "Thiruneelakantam" never to touch her, and the couple kept that vow into old age.

Shiva came as a yogi, left a bowl in his care and made it vanish, then asked him to bathe holding his wife's hand. Honouring the vow, they held a stick between them and bathed, and rose from the water young again.
