"am the slave of the devotees of Vāyilāṉ of ancient Mayilai in which the red coral which was washed by the waves in the ghat emitted rays to dispel darkness."
Thevaram 7.39.8 (lines 5,6), thevaaram.org: https://www.thevaaram.org/thirumurai_1/songview.php?thiru=7&Song_idField=70390&padhi=039&startLimit=8&limitPerPage=1&sortBy=&sortOrder=DESC ; English gloss from the same page (Translation: V.M. Subramanya Aiyar, French Institute of Pondicherry / EFEO 2006)

A Vellala of ancient Mylapore who worshipped Shiva entirely in his mind. In the temple of his heart he installed the Lord, lit the lamp of knowledge, bathed Him with the water of bliss and offered the food of love.

Through this unbroken inner worship he attained Shiva's feet.
