In Thiruviruththam pasuram 34, Nammazhvar sings thus:

sidhaikkinRathAzhi enRu Azhiyaic sIRi than sIRadiyAl
udhaikkinRa nAyaganthannodu mAlE unadhu thaNthAr
thadhaikkinRa thaNNanthuzhAyaNivAn adhuvE manamAyp
padhaikkinRa mAdhin thiRaththu aRiyEn seyaRpAladhuvE

Here, the friend of Parankusa Nayaki explains her condition to the Lord. In the description, Nayaki is standing in sand and in Her anger with the Lord kicks the sand.

When Bhattar was explaining this verse, Pillai Vizhupparaiyar asked "As soon as She kicks the sand, would not the Lord, seeking contact with Her feet, enter the sand immediately?"

Bhattar replied "Does He have to enter the sand? The sand that comes in contact with Her feet automatically gains paratatvam and becomes the Lord".
