Commentary:

rangI: - Since he is lying on the vimAnA (sanctum sanctorum) that is rangam, 
the beautiful lord attained the name "rangI". Since the lord has 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) had 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 bother her.
