The famous krithi in Raaga Bridaavana Saaranga composed by sri Dikshithar in rupaka thalam is
Sri rangapura vihaara.The pallavi starts as:
Sri ranga pura vihaara jaya kodanda raamaavathara raghu veera.
Though the krithi is on Ranganatha, at Srirangam,it partly relates to the Ramar sannidi therein.
Srirangam is one and foremost of the 108 divyadesams of vaishnavites.It is in the islet formed
by the two rivers Kaveri and kollidam.sri=beautiful,arangam=the land between two rivers.
Lord Ranganaatha is in the posture of yoga nidhra.However He is said to revel(vihaara) in the kshetra,probably due to the beauty of the place.Ramaa's bow kodanda is hailed victorious.
In raamaavathaara Sri Rama is called Raghuveera, the scion of raghuvamsa.
The ancestry of Rama is traced back to Surya.Their race produced eminent kings in the
names of Harish chandra, Dileepa,Raghu,Aja,Dasaratha and Raama.
