shlokam:

Meditate the form which is (shining) like crores (millions) of suns (kOTiravipram), Three eyed, wearing the cool gangA, in the hand with axe, deer, protection posture, the Great with only one leg, to the right and left shoulders of Lord shambhubrahmA, and vishNu present with their ideal arms surrounding Him, to Him, salutations with folded hands.

purANa of the deity :

Eka pAdar : one legged 

This is the mUrti that shows that brahmA and vishNu appear from the Lord and finally merge in the Lord and oneness of God.

ஒன்றிய இருசுடர் உம்பர்கள் பிறவும் 
படைத்தளித் தழிப்பமும் மூர்த்திக ளாயினை 
இருவரோ டொருவ னாகி நின்றனை
