Civaṉ is male, female and hermaphrodite and has three forms
has a frontal eye and who is all the objects the eye of wisdom
has the tongue from which the inarticulate sounds of cūkkumai, paicanti, mattimai, and vaikari have their origin.
is the origin of the four vētams and the wisdom contained in them.
has Ātirai as his favourite star.
the Lord in Tiruppayaṟṟūr is the supreme god above all other tēvars.
