விண்ணார்திங்கட் கண்ணிவெள்ளை மர்லை யதுசூடித்
தண்ணாரக்கோ டாமைபூண்டு தழைபுன் சடைதாழ
எண்ணாவந்தெ னில்புகுந்தங் கெவ்வ நோய்செய்தான்
கண்ணார்சோலைக் கானூர்மேய விண்ணோர் பெருமானே.

Tirunavukkarasar describes the feature of the deity as:

நீரும் பாரும் நெருப்பும் அருக்கனும்
காரும் மாருதங் கானூர் முளைத்தவன்

ஓர்வு மென்றில ரோடித் திரிவரே.
