Since they incarnated as said in that pAsuram as ‘vAzhvAga vandhu udhiththa [upadhESa raththina mAlai – 21], the places of their incarnation is also having full of greatness and wealth everywhere.
seerArum villipuththUr – SrIvillipuththUr having thriving wealth. That is like the combination of pon (gold), maNi (gems) and muththu (pearls) put together, having golden feet of emperumAn ‘villipuththUr uRaivAn [nAchchiyAr thirumozhi – 5.5]’ (emperumAn divining his presence in SrIvillipuththUr), and nAchchiyAr who is the sthree dhanam (wealth) as can be said as ‘maNivalli’, and, incarnating in the place where pearls are formed and as said in ‘ikkarai ERi iLaiththu irundhEn [periyAzhvAr thirumozhi 5.3.7]’ (came out of the samsAram to the other shore due to your grace), like a (seeker) muktha who has reached the shore, that is periyAzhvAr – having such combination it is having unlimited ever present wealth.

Or, as said in ‘senkayal vAvigaL sUzh vayal nALum siRandha perumbUthUr [Arththi prabandham – 32]’ (~ ever great SrIperumbUthUr that is full of fields, waters, fish, etc.), it is talking about the fertile place.
ennum ivai – in this way these places that are talked about as popular.
pAril madhi Arum ANdAL madhurakavi AzhvAr ethirAsar thOnRiya Ur ingu – that is – being full of bhagavath gyAnam (knowledge about emperumAn, etc), and which extends up to His devotees – having such quality is ANdAL – she incarnated in ‘seerArum SrIvillipuththUr’ (mentioned above).
Like ‘Ayar kulaththinil thOnRum (m)ANi viLakku [thiruppAvai – 5] ((krishNan) beautiful lamp/gem who arrived in the clan of cowherds)’, here in the clan of ‘vEyar’ this ‘lamp’ incarnated.
