There are many parallels between paramapadam and Srirangam as stated in the verse below.

KavEri VirajA sEyam Vaikuntam Rangamandiram

Sa VaasudEvO RangEsa: Prathyaksham Paramam Padham

Paramapadam has Viraja as river, SriVaikundam as temple and Para Vasudevan as deity. similarly Srirangam had Cavery as river, Perai Kovil as Temple and Lord Ranganatha as deity.

Para Vasudevan is the highest form of  Sriman Narayana in Vaikundam

As we visit Divya Desams and pray to Lord Ranganatha, Lord Srinivasan, Lord Varadaraja, Lord Venkatakrishnan etc.., Let us remember these archa avatars are nothing but another form Lord Sriman Narayana alias Para Vasudeva of Paramapadam. Bhagavat Sri Ramanuja taught us that Parabrahman, manifests in five possible aspects: Para, Vyūha, Vibhava,  Antaryamin and Archa . Para form is the first immanent manifestation of the Supreme Being. 

Here is a song on Para form of Lord Sriman Narayana describing the major attributes

எண்களும் தத்துவமும் திருச்சந்தவிருத்தம் -3(754) திருமழிசை ஆழ்வார்

எண்களும் தத்துவமும் திருச்சந்தவிருத்தம் - 754  திருமழிசை ஆழ்வார்

In this pasuram, Thirumazhisai Azhwar just calls out number in each line and leave it to Purvacharyars to explain the meaning in their Vyakkyaanams. 

Thirumazhisai Azhwar packs  24 Thathwams in two lines,  5( Pancha Bootham) +5 Pancha Indriyas +5  Pancha Karmendriyas in the first line and 5 Pancha Than Mathrai) +3 (Pakrithi, Mahak, Ahanakaram)  +1(Manasa) in line two. Thirumazhisai Azhwar also mentions The Lord directs Pancha Shakthi, Panchendriyam and Pancha Karmendriyam as outlined in line Three of pasuram.In the last line Thirumazhisai Azhwar outlines Five Bogams and Five Divisions. Details are in the attched picture.
