God can change the nature


திருநாவுக்கரசர் தேவாரம்
தலம்    திருவாரூர்
பண்    காந்தாரம்
நான்காம் திருமுறை

திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

நரியைக் குதிரை செய்வானும்
    நரகரைத் தேவு செய்வானும்
விரதங் கொண்டு ஆடவல்லானும்
    விச்சின்றி நாறு செய்வானும்
முரசதிர்ந்து ஆனை முன் ஓட
    முன்பணிந்து அன்பர்கள் ஏத்த
அரவு அரைச் சாத்தி நின்றானும்
    ஆரூர் அமர்ந்த அம்மானே.

thiruchchiRRambalam

Meaning:
One Who makes foxes to horses,
One Who makes those destined to hell to get to heaven,
One Who is capable of dancing with determination,
One Who makes plant without seeds,
Due to the beats of the drum elephants rushing forward
and the loving ones hailing having saluted in front,
One Who stood with the snake wound to the hip,
He is the Lovely Lord seated in thiruvArUr.

Notes:
1. The God is the ultimate Source. It creates things at
Its own will. It is the One that created all the processes
that occur in the world. It is the One that sustains. 
However It is also beyond that process reserving Its
right to exercise the authority to change even that process.
2. Some say the first lines "Making foxes into horses"
refer to the thiruviLaiyADal associated with mANikka
vAcakar. Though looking only at that line may make one
think so, when seen in the context of the total song,
appar seem to be simply referring to that in line with
the other examples given to emphasize that God can
alter the nature.
3. viccu - vithai - seed; n^ARu - n^ARRu - plant; 
arai - hip.
