PeriyazhwarThirumozhi ---360-370---Naavaakariam.

These verses describe Thirukottiyur and are in praise of the presiding deity as well as the devout.They chide the indifferent and nonbelievers.

5.
Graceful fishes jump over the turtles back dashing against dainty flowers ,

And splash around playfully in the ponds of Thirukotiyoor

Those who do not meditate on the deity of this idyllic place ,

Are a burden on this earth.Seize their food and stuff their mouth with grass!

The verse. [364]

Aamai yin mudukathidaigudi kondu thoomalar sadipoi,
theemai seidila vallaigal vilaiyadu neer thirukotiyoor,
nemiser thadang kaiyinnai ninaipilavali nenjudai,
bhoomi bharangalunnum sotrinai vaangi pullai thinimino.
