PaLLi yezhuntharuLAyE ! The translation of the Third Paasuram by Dr. V.K.N.S.Raghavan Swamy is as follows : " Oh Lord of Srirangam ! TheSun's lustrous rays have now pervaded on all sides . The lightning-like lustre of the stars has diminished and the bright Moon has now become pale. And the darkness which was all around here has gone off. this gentle morning breeze blows now over the gardens after cleaving through the branches of the areca nut trees to bring its sweet fragrance. Oh Lord RanganAtha holding the mighty and bright discus-weapon (tikiri=chakrAyudham) on Your glorious and long hand ! Please get up and bless us ! The Sanskrit version of the above Paasuram by Sri T.Govindha IyengAr takes on this form: SarvAsu Dhikshu taraNE : kiraNA vibhAnthy nakshathra-dheepthaya imA malinee bhavanthy Nakshathra bhUpathyrasou malinam gathOsthy Sriranga Patthana PathE Tava SuprabhAtham (Meaning ): The rays of Sun have spread now in all directions. The bright stars in the sky have lost their lustre. The brightness of the Moon has dimmed. Oh Lord of Srirangam ! May this dawn be an auspicious one for You ! In Sri VenkatEsa SuprabhAtham , PrathivAdhi Bayankaram ANNAn has been inspired by the third paasruam passage and has drawn a word portrait of the morning breeze laden with the delightful , mixed fragrance of slightly opened lotus flowers , coconut and areca nut tree blossoms from their sheaths wafting thru Srirangam (7th SlOkam) : Ishath prapulla saraseeruha naarikEla pookadhrumAdhi sumanOhara paalikAnAm aavAthy mandham anila: saha dhivyagandhai: SeshAdhri Sekhara VibhO Tava SuprabhAtham The advancement of the dawn in to morning is hinted here . The sights and scents of that cool morning at Srirangam is described by AzhwAr to awaken Sri RanganAthA with PrayOga Chakram in His hand . Chakram stands for the sankalpa sakthi of the Lord and AzhwAr begs the Lord to awaken and bless all of the assembled devotees in the Lord's courtyard ( Aranganin MuRRam).
