SrI rangam is the dwelling place of such a great warrior, SrI rAma. In the previous pAsuram, it was mentioned of this abode, &#8220;<em>uL magizhndha nAdhanUr<\/em>&#8220;, where emperumAn considered protecting his followers as his benefit. In this pAsuram, it mentions about the power of emperumAn which controls the enemies of his followers. Through this, it is implied that emperumAn is residing permanently in SrI rangam only in order to remove the engagement of his followers with worldly pursuits such as <em>Sabdha, sparSa, rUpa, rasa<\/em> and<em> gandha<\/em> (sound, touch, form, taste, smell respectively) which are hurdles for their enjoying him.

Since the verse says <em>thiRththa nIr<\/em> in a general way, it refers to divine kAviri, chandra pushkariNi and all the other divine water bodies in the abode. Since the verse says <em>gaNangaLum<\/em>, this refers to people of different classifications such as those who desire opulence, those who desire mOksham, those who are eminent by way of their birth and activities, those who are lowly by the same count, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>vaNidraiththa sOlai vEli<\/strong> \u2013 having gardens all around where beetles, having drunk honey, hum loudly as a result of the happiness that they had attained due to drinking honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>mannu sIr arangamE<\/strong> \u2013 the divine, big temple in SrI rangam which has greatness such as this piety, sweetness etc, at all times.
