Pranams to all

I was going through Vishnu Sahasranam - 74 .....
..'Shiva always do dhyanam by uttering Rama
Namam'(taraka mantram).
Can someone clarify what is the meaning of "Taraka"
and why "Rama" namam choosen as Taraka Mantram.

Lord Rama says "Mitrabhavena .....DOSHOYADHYAPI tasya
syath sadhametatakarhitam" means even if he  has
dosham I will not leave him (hope I understood the
meaning correctly). Then why Andal says (twice)
"AAraindu". If there is "aaraindu" then will the
"dhosham" not be seen?  What is the meaning of
"Nirhetu Kripa"?

Hope someone will clarify my doubts.

pranams once again
