Periyazhvar and Thirumangai Azhvar have given us pasurams in which they take the role of two different girls at the same time (Periyazhvar Thirumozhi 3-9 and Periya Thirumozhi 11-5).

Nanjeeyar asked Bhattar "How can a person attain the state of two different people at the same time?"

Bhattar replied "Is it not said that in His divine abode, an Atma can take many roles at the same time and perform different services to Him? How is that possible? It is said that it is due to His grace that it can be done. Similarly if His grace were to fall on Azhvar, he can surely take on two roles at the same time".
