SrI :

 Dear BhakthAs of Periya PerumAL :

In the tenth slOkam , Bhattar compares the Lord of Srirangam
to a Mountain :

syAmAbham makuDOpEtham kaDakAnchitham unnatham
satthvAsrayam RangarAjam maheedharm avaimyaham

Dr.S.PadmanAbhan's comments :
*************************************
In this beautiful anushtub meter slOkam , Bhattar identifies RanganAthan
with Maheedhara (Mountain) . The mountain has saamyam with RanganAtha
because both are dark in color ( syAmAbham) .Our Lord has a tall crown
(MakuDam) just as the mountain has a peak ( sikharam) . The mountain
has slopes ( Kataka / thAzhvarai) and is lofty ( tungam , Unnatham) .
The mountain is the abode of SatthvAs (animals ) . The Lord is the 
repository of
the quality of serenity and enormous strength ( satthvA ) .

NaayanthE ! Devareer is standing at Srirangam befitting Vedia vAkyams
and Your words : " VishNu: ParvathAnAm athipathi: " and " mEru 
SikhariNAmaham " . Therefore , we compare You to a mountain .

Further , You are SyAmAbhan : Mountain will be beautiful ( kOmaLam) in
its dark hue ( syAmaLam ).You are like " Pacchai MaNi malai pOla" ( like
emerald mountain) in SyAmaLa roopam .

MakuDopEtham : The mountain will be characterized by a tall peak .
DEvareer has a tall crown ( tunnu MaamaNi Mudi) reminding us of
Your Lordship ( Seshithva soochakam) .

kaDAkAnchitham : The mountain will have foot hills ( KaDakam/Thaazhvarai) .
Oh Lord of Srirangam ! You are adorned with the shoulder jewelery
known as KaDakam .

Unnatham : The mountain will be tall and immeasurable as VishNu
padAsrayam . Devareer as per AzhwAr Vaakyam , " NediyAn padi
kadanthAn " is unapproachable in Your loftiness as shown during
Your avathAram as Thrivikraman .

SatthvAsrayam : The mountain will be the home for satthvams (animals)
like the Lion . DEvareer is the resting place ( puhalidam) for the devotees
with Satthva guNam or You are Sathtva guNa prakAsakar ( Sathtvam
VishNu prakAsakam , SathvamAsraya ka: ") .

RangarAjam Maheedharam avaimyaham :  Thus in this wonderous state ,
You are the most delightful ( athimanOharam) to enjoy and grow the desire 
for the eyes of all sevArTees ( akhila jana nayana kuthUhal pratham) 
during Your Thirumanjanak-kOlam . You stand tall like a mountain ready for
engagement in the sport with Your Lotus lady ( ambhOruha VaasiniyAna
PirAttiyinudaya viLayAttukkenRu paruvam seythu niRkinRa oru malayin
nilai pOl irunthathu ) .
