Dear BhakthAs : Let us start today with the study of the Seventh ThiruppaLLiyezucchi Paasuram , which takes this form : AntharatthamararkaL kootangaL ivayO? arumtava munivarum marutharumivaro? Indhiranaanayum thAnum vanthivAnO ? EmperumAn Unn kOilin vaasal Sundarar nerukka vicchAdharar nookka iyakkarum mayanginar thiruvadi thozuvAn antharam paaridamillai maRRaRithuvO? ArangatthammA ! paLLi yezhantharuLAyE The translation of the Fifth Paasuram by Dr. V.K.S.N. Raghavan Swamy is as follows : Oh Lord of Srirangam ! Several important personages have assembled here (at the entrance of Your holy shrine ) to pay obeisance to Your pair of feet . They are many hosts of Gods from the celestial region , many great sages of avowed austeriities , the Maruths , as well as God Indhra with the elephant ( AirAvata) . Several Sundaraas (Gandharvaas) and VidhyAdharaas have come and they stand pressing each other very closely . The YakshAs have also turned up with earnest devotion . There is no moving space left at the entrance of Your holy shrine (Koil) both up in the sky and below on the earth. Oh Lord ! Wake up please and bless them and adiyEn . Special Notes: **************** (1) In the previous paasuram , Thondardippodi referred to " Muppatthu Moovar (amarar) " that took into account the 12 AdithyAs , 11 RudrAs , 8 Vasus and SubramaNyan and Maruths ( 49 in individual count ) and Aswin dEvAs (2) . (2) This group always arrives at BhagavAn's sannidhi as per Poygai AzhwAr's 52nd Paasuram of Mudhal ThiruvandhAthi : YeNmar pathinoruvar yeeraRuvar ohrurivar vaNNa malar yEnthi vaikalum- - - naNNi orumalayAl paravi oovAthu , yeppOthum ThirumAlaik-kaithozhuvar senRu YeNmar here is ashta Vasus ; Pathinoruvar are EkAdasa RudrAs ; YeerAruvar are the dhvAdasa AadhithyAs ; Ohruiruvar are the two Awins. They have arrived with the celestial blossoms in their hands at this early morning for Your worship. (3) " Iyakkarum mayanginar" : In that huge assembly of gods and demigods , there is an active jostling for the best position to have the darsanam of Lord RanganAtha. In that hustle , some move forward and others faint . The YakshAs faint as the GandharvAs and VidhyAdarAs press forward . (4) The arrival of IndhrA , deva gaNams , Maruths , VidhyAdharAs , Rishi GaNams assembled in front of Lord RanganAthA's sannidhi are described in the 14th SlOkam of Sri RanganAtha SuprabhAtham: IndhrAdhayas-suragaNA: maruthasccha sarvE VidhyAdharA munigaNA bhuvi dEva maargE vyApthas-samastha viBhudhaa: tava darsanArTam Sri Ranga Pattana pathE !

Please awaken and bless them . (7) " antharam paaridam illai " : as these noble souls have assembled in front of Your courtyard , there is no moving space left for anyone to enter , both up in the sky and below on the earth . ThoNDaradippodi continues with the descriptions of the personages assembled in the next two paasurams of His ThiruppaLLiyezucchi. We will take up these two paasurams together in the next posting . We should be blessed to be in such company during the SuprabhAtham at Sri RanganAthan Sannidhi .
