saving those who worship her; naLinam vihAya - leaving the lotus that she is 
placed on; marudhvrthA puLinam - the sandy shores of kAvEri; jagAma - reached;

apAngajA: - originating from her lotus eyes; karuNA tharanga vithathI - the 
waves of compassion; mayi - upon me; tharangayathu - shower and bless.

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.

AzhwAr emperumAnAr jeeyar thiruvadigaLE saranam.

Dasan,

Kidambi Soundararajan.
