Tirunavukkarasar describes the feature of the deity of Tirupunkur and Thiruneedur as:[3]
கையெலாம் நெய்பாயக் கழுத்தே கிட்டக் கால்நிமிர்த்து நின்றுண்ணுங் கையர் சொன்ன
பொய்யெலாம் மெய்யென்று கருதிப் புக்குப் புள்ளுவரா லகப்படா துய்யப் போந்தேன்
செய்யலலெஞ் செழுங்கமலப் பழன வேலித் திருப்புன்கூர் மேவிய சிவலோ கனை
நெய்தல்வாய்ப் புனற்படப்பை நீடூ ரானை நீதனேன் என்னேநான் நினையாவாறே.
