"am the slave to Nīlanakkaṉ who is a native of Cattamanakai which is surrounded by roaring water."
Thevaram 7.39.4 (lines 6), thevaaram.org: https://www.thevaaram.org/thirumurai_1/songview.php?thiru=7&Song_idField=70390&padhi=039&startLimit=4&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 Sathamangai who worshipped Shiva daily by the Agama rules. Once, when a spider fell on the Linga, his wife blew it away and her breath touched the Linga; he was angered and left her.
That night Shiva showed him in a dream that His body was blistered everywhere except where she had blown. Neelanakkar later hosted Sambandar and Thiruneelakanta Yazhpanar, and attained Shiva with Sambandar at Nallur Perumanam.
