Meaning
The devas bring fresh, fragrant offerings, and the good sages Tumburu and Narada have come in, bringing all that is fit for You to see as You wake, beginning with the great treasures, the cow Kapila and a bright mirror. Is it they? The sun has appeared, spreading its clear light, and the darkness is leaving the sky. O Lord of Srirangam, graciously rise from Your sleep!
