Raṅgakṣetra (रङ्गक्षेत्र).—According to Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta, Madya-lila 9.79, “After visiting the holy place named Śiva-kṣetra, Caitanya Mahāprabhu arrived at Pāpanāśana and there saw the temple of Lord Viṣṇu. Then He finally reached Śrī Raṅga-kṣetra”.

Śrī Raṅga-kṣetra is a very famous place. Near Tiruchchirāpalli is a river named Kāverī, or Kolirana. A city known as Śrī Raṅgam is located on this river in the district of Tanjoreāñ, about ten miles west of Kumbhakonṇam. The Śrī Raṅga temple is the largest in India, and there are seven walls surrounding it.

There are also seven roads leading to Śrī Raṅga. The ancient names of these roads are:

1. the road of Dharma,
2. the road of Rājamahendra,
3. the road of Kulaśekhara,
4. the road of Ālināḍana,
5. the road of Tiruvikrama,
6. the Tirubiḍi road of Māḍamāḍi-gāisa,
7. and the road of Aḍa-iyāvala-indāna.
