samayam
 
Having seen kaDavuL a very common term used rarely by our AzhwArs,. samayam is another common term but used in entirely a different context by both sri nam-AzhwAr and sri kaliyan.
 
Generally, samayam refers to a time-period or a reliogion based faith. Here, it refers to transformation of objects.
 
"yAvarum yavaiyum thAnAi avaravar samayam dhOrum thOvilan pulan aindhukkum..." thiru-voi-mozhi 3-4-10;
 
The souls and objects undergo transformation. The Lord is pervading in all but does  not get affected by the kArmic effects.
 
 
It is a beauty to observe that sri thirumangai mannan also uses this term in the same context.
 
"chandhamAi, samayam Agai samaya aim-bhUdham Agi.." periya thiru-mozhi 4-6-9;
 
The chandhams of upanishads transform into meters/anushtups etc. The Lord is inner governor of these.
 
Similarly, the pancha-bhUdham also undergo transformation while being created, sustained and destoryed. The Almighty is the inner governor of these.
