Through this it is implied that for those who desire liberation and attain you [referring to emperumAn], you remove the sins which are hurdles in attaining you, just like you removed kAlanEmi. Sins are the manifestation of emperumAn\u2019s anger [when devotees do not obey SAsthras] and which, emperumAn endures due to pirAtti\u2019s (SrI mahAlakshmi\u2019s) <em>purushakAram<\/em> (recommendatory nature).

By referring to <em>gyAlam Ezhum<\/em>, this includes the three worlds, viz. nether, earth and upper.
