Śiśupāla was immensely confident that he would wed Rukmiṇī Pirāṭṭi (Śrī Mahālakṣmī), especially after all the preliminary ceremonies of the wedding were concluded. However, when he lost all his luster and found himself gazing helplessly towards the heavens, Emperumān mercifully wedded Rukmiṇī Pirāṭṭi, thereby becoming renowned as the eternal protector of all women. The sacred name of the divine abode where that Emperumān reclines is Thiruvarangam.
