Literary mention
Tirugnanasambandar describes the feature of the deity as:[5]
அருமறைநான் முகத்தானு மகலிடநீ ரேற்றானும்
இருவருமா யளப்பரிய வெரியுருவாய் நீண்டபிரான்
வருபுனலின் மணியுந்தி மறிதிரையார் சுடர்ப்பவளத்திருவுருவில் வெண்ணீற்றார் திருவேட்டக் குடியாரே.

gollark: Unfortunately, like many CC things it doesn't seem that customizable and like many neat CC:T things I can't use it because backward compatibility.
gollark: `unserializeJSON` is new, though.
