Commentary:

 

rangI: - Since he is lying on the vimAnA (sanctum sanctorum) that is rangam, the

beautiful lord attained the name "rangI". Since the lord likes this place more

than the milky ocean, the sUrya maNdalA and the hearts of the yOgIs, this vimAnA

was known to be called as "rangam", according to srIranga mahAthmiyam. marudhA

varththathE - iti - marudhvrthA, as the water currents of the kAvEri River get

stronger with stronger winds, kAvEri is also known as marudhvrthA. PirAtti

(Lakshmi) seemed to have left her soft lotus seat for the hard, rough shores of

the kAvEri. For this pirAtti, who has come to save her devotees, the hard, rough

shores of the kAvEri do not seem to trouble her lotus feet.
