* For each face, there are three eyes, namely, the Sun, the Moon and Agni, the Fire God; thus for six faces, there are 18 eyes.

** NAgamalai is another name of ThiruchchengkOdu because the mount is shaped like a serpent.
ThiruchchengkOdu is in SAlem District of Tamil NAdu, 6 miles away from Sankaridurgam railway station.
As the mount is reddish in colour, the name ThiruchchengkOdu -Red Hill- was given.

In Kandhar AlangkAram, Saint AruNagirinAthar sings about ChenkOdan (Murugan): to see His beauty, he wishes BrahmA, the Creator, had blessed him with 4,000 eyes!
