Perumpatra-p-Puliyur may be interpreted as the polis that is the Palladium par excellence for the Tiger-footed (saint). 2. Katraan: It means a learned man.

Appar when he returned to Tillai, after visiting the shrines at Tiruvetkalam and Tiruk- kazhippaalai.

In the temple are the shrines of (1) God Tirumoolanaathar and Goddess Uma, and(2) Sabhaanaayakar (Nataraja) and Sivakaami.

He is the rare One; He abides in the chinta Of Tillai-Brahmins; He is the core Of the rare Vedas; He is the Atom; He is the Tattua unknown to any one; He is the Honey, the Milk, the self-luminous Light; He is the King of the celestial lords; He is the Dark one, the Four-Faced, The Fire, the Air, the roaring Ocean And the world-supporting Mountain.

Unlived indeed are the days unspent in His praise.

He is the Omniscient in whose matted crest The Ganga doth rest; He eke favours Valanjuzhi girt by the Cauvery; He deigns to grace the poor and the destitute; He is beyond compare; He is the One Hailed and adored by the celestials.

He is of Perumpatra-p-Puliyur; Unlived indeed are the days unspent in His praise.

He is clothed in the flayed hide of the dark tusker; Flexing His shapely and splendorous shoulders, He, holding fire, dances Whilst His sounding anklets chime in concord; He is the Lord that dances Adorned with a crescent in His matted crest; She of the glorious and resplendent visage Beholds His dance, seated Whilst the celestial throngs bow with their heads.

He is the Father adorned and hailed By rare tapaswis; He is the Lord of the supernal lords.

He is Hara the Sustainer; He graced The celestials with nectar--the cure for ageing.

He, the great One is the billowy sea, The earth-supporting mountain, the earth, The sky, the stars of lucent rays, the eight Directions, the moving lights twain and all else also.

Unlived indeed are the days unsent in His praise.

He is the fruit and the melody of the strummed strings; He is the great God that fixed the dart wrought of the celestials To His Bow of Mountain and set ablaze the citadels Of the gruesome and fearsome Asuras; He is the One that ate the venom of the billowy sea; He is the great fruit of the renunciants Who are unaffected by the oeillades Of damsels whose locks are buzzed by bees; He is of Perumpatra-p-Puliyur.

He is mantled in the pachyderm a of the dark tusker; He is Ekampan of lovely Kaanchi damasked with flowers; He is easy of access to His servitorswhoever they be; He is the infinite One unknown to the celestials; He is the Light of the Empyrean who enacts the dance Whilst the earth-born and the heaven-dwellers adore Him; His name are legion; He is of Perumpatra-p-Puliyur.

He is the One that wears the young, milk-white crescent; He is the primal One who is all the three worlds; He is the Destroyer of the triple, hostile citadels; He is the abiding Light, the Emerald, The Honey and the Milk.

He is the beauteous One that presides over Kutraalam; He is the Dancer, the King, the God of Gnosis; He is of Perumpatra-p-Puliyur.

He is the hoary an abiding Light That stood a column of glorious flame Beyond the ken of the darkly-bright and red-eyed Maal And the one ensconced on the fragrant Lotus; He is the Light beautiful that sets at nought Bewilderment; He is the Light infinite that abides Beyond the extensive earth, the seven worlds, The ether and the heavens.
