Thayar- Ranganayaki is found below a Sriphala tree ( Bilva tree). That is why in her archana we extol her as “ Namami Bilvanilayam) .The Lord has 8 Lakshmis along with him ;
1) Periya Piratti- Lordess Ranganayaki
2) Uraiyur lakshmi
3) Karuvula Nachiar- the daughter of Pandya King
4) Sengamalavalli Thayar
5) Maragathavalli Thayar
6) Serakulavalli Nachiar
7) Sultan Sundari
8) Andal
Those who surrender so at His feet, those who read the Ranga Mahathmyam are sure to attain moksha when the right time arrives.
Na draavidasamo desho na Kavveri samaa nadi
Na Srirangasamam kshetram sathyam sathyam vadamyaham
There is no desham such as Draavida desham, there is no better river than Kaveri, no kshetra can equal Srirangam and none to parallel Lord Ranganatha. This is the truth, the truth and nothing but the truth.
End of Ranga Mahathmyam
