Special Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):

 

SlOkam 600

 

1)UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! The red effulgence

arising from Your rubies surrounds the boundaries of SrI Rangam like

walls of fire and prevent the entry of the age of Kali inside the

holy city , the home of Your Lord.

 

2)SrImath Andavan's anubhavam: The inner meaning is that the

comprehension of the paasurams of Swamy NammAzhwAr will

remove Kali dhOshams ( involvement with spiritually injurious

matters due to the dominance of desire, anger , arrogance , jealous

and the like ) .

 

3) Oh PaadhukE! The lustre of Your rubies are like a fort of Agni

around the city limits of SrIrangam ( sONAmaNi prasootha prakAsa:

SrIranga-seemni agnimayam prAkAram aarabhathE ) . The spreading

of the red rays from the rubies prevents the entry of Kali purushan

in to SrIrangam ( KalE: yugasya SrIranga-seemni pravEsam nivArayithum

aarabhatE ).
