Look at what a competent person can achieve. (1) A thin grass became
a potent Brahmastra in Rama's hand (2) An arrow could swallow, as it
were, the (invisible) Punya of Parasurama and could dry up the ocean
(3) A Paaduka that knows only to protect the feet became the ruler of
a vast country. In the hands of the adept, anything can be anything
as he wants.

Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
SlOkam 823
1) UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Swamy Desikan points out here
another lOka neethi , which states that those associated with the
Lord can accomplish many things because of their special relationship
to the Lord. He says: "A mere blade of grass got empowered to become
the powerful BrahmAsthram. At another time, all the virtues collected
by ParasurAma was put away by the arrow of RaamA in to the ocean .
The PadhukAs although seperated from the Lord's feet ruled over the
universe at AyOdhyA. When those with true power conduct the affairs ,
which object can not be empowered to perform miracles ?
2) SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: If one is an expert, he can use any
object to execute what he wishes to do. For the Lord, simple blade of
grass performed the duties of the powerful BrahmAsthram. Through this
extraordinary power of RaamA, ParasurAmA's puNyam ( not visible to
the eye) was hit by His arrow, the ocean became the target for
drying by His missile. His (Raama) PaadhukAis were enthroned at
AyOdhyA and they ruled the kingdom for fourteen years on His behalf.
3) In the case of even the playful activities of the most powerful
ones ( vibhUnAm kELi vidhou) , what object can not transfrom in to
any other objects? ( kim vaa kim na bhavathi?). In the case of Lord
Raamachandra, a blade of grass became BrahmAsthram (prayuktham
thruNam BrahmAsthrathAm adhijagaama); ParasurAmA's puNyam became
the target of Raama BhANam ( puNyam saravyam abhavath ); the Ocean
became the object of evaporation ( payasAm nidhirvaa saravyam
abhavath). The Paadhukais freed from the sacred feet of the Lord (
Parimuktha padham padhathram) was empowered to protect
the universe ( Padhathram pruTveem SaSAsa )...(V.S).
