\begin{meaning}
Sri Rangam [is] a beautiful garden which is like a jewel [among the entire world], where
1. bees swarm and hum around the flowers, 2. peacocks dance 3. clouds embrace from the top
(note that one can flip 2 & 3, with 3 being the reason for 2)
4. nightingales rejoice with their singing and 5. the supreme Emperor of all the divine beings resides and rules over.
[oh, you good minded people]! if you see any of those ingrates -- the people of lowly life, who don't utter the name "Sri Rangam" (which is so defined above) -- eat their food, just take the food away from them and throw that food to dogs. [These people don't deserve the Lord's food. Even dogs are better than these fellows.]
