Ur ilĕn
āzhvār begins by saying "Ur ilĕn"—meaning he does not reside in a divine place (dhivya dhĕṣam) where emperumān is present. The Ur that āzhvār refers to is not any ordinary town but specifically refers to sacred places like Śrī Sālagrāmam, Thiru Ayodhdhi (the birthplace of Śrī Rāma), and the revered Śrīraṅgam, the root of all archāvatāra sthālams
