Nithyasuris and muktAs take the form of beetles, peacocks; cuckoo birds etc

and occupy the surroundings of Srirangam, which is very beautiful with the

presence of the Lord of paramapadam residing there. People, who do not

appreciate this fact but enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the food given

by the Lord, thinking as if these items have been created for their own

sake, are lowlier than dogs. Dogs, of course remember their master who fed

them atleast one time.

 

 

 

(vaNDinam . . aNDarkOn amarum sOlai) : With the Lord of paramapadam residing

in Srirangam, divyasuris and devatAs take many different forms and do

kaimkaryams to the Lord. They come down to drink the divya Madhu (divine

honey) called SriranganAthan and as a timepassing (kAlakshEpma) do sAmagAnam

too. Similar to them even animals, birds and insects enjoy the divine

surroundings by making musical symphony. Seeing the dance of peacocks and

greenery of the gardens, clouds come down over the gardens; or it means, due

to the fertility, the trees go high upto the clouds. This is a grand divine

view, which is only because of the presence of Sriranganathan. The Lord

leave paramapadam and tiruppARkaDal to reside here.

 

 

 

(aNitiruvarangam ennA miNDar) : Thiruvarangam is the precious ornament of

bhUlOkam or samsAram. People, who do not feel the sanctity of this place and

do not attribute its beauty to the Lord, but are enjoying only the material

benefits given by the Lord.

 

 

 

(pAyn thuNNum sORRai vilakki nAykku iDumin) : While narakavAsam and

garbhavAsam are awaiting these people, they only take care of their

perishable body. People, who have not realized that the Lord is residing in

Srirangam only for their sake, are lowlier than dogs. The food being taken

by samsAris who have not uttered 'tiruvarangam' is treated as food acquired

in wrong ways. So, they are not eligible to consume it. If this food is

given to the dogs, they will remember this upakAram (help) and will reside

there itself.

 

 

 

sAram of the pAsuram : The Lord has given karaNa kaLEbarams (senses and

body) and is residing in Srirangam to give darSanam to samsAris. But lowly

people use their indriyams not to realize the dAsatva relationship with Him

but only to enjoy the material pleasures.
