siva is called "pittan" or madman as a term of endearment in tamil. there is a famous double-meaning sentence to tie lemons and snakes together

"pittan mudiyerum" = ascends to the head of a madman - applies to a lemon because it is believed to cure insanity and is rubbed on the head of mad men and applies to a snake because its on the head of Siva.
