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 ! Tava SuprabhAtham 

(5) The presence of Dhik PaalakAs ( Indhran , Agni , Yaman ,
Nirrudhi , VaruNan , Vaayu , KubhEran and Haran ) standing 
before the Lord on the SuprabhAtham occasion is described
in the 16th slOkam of Sri VenkatEsa SuprabhAtham:

SevAparA: Siva SurEsa krusAnudharma
rakshOmbhunATa pavamAna dhanAdhinATa:
BhaddhAnjali pravilasannija seersha dEsA:
Sri VenkatAchalapathE Tava SuprabhAtham    

(6) "arumtava Munivarum " : the Saptha Rishis (Athri ,Vasishtar
et al) , The Yogi srEshtAs like Sananthanar have assembled 
in front of Your garbha graham . 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 . 

SrI Godharanga ParabrahmaNE Nama:
ThoNDardippodi AzhwAr ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam ,

Srimate Sri Laksminrisimha Divya Paduka Sevaka
SrivaNN Satakopa Sri Narayana Yatindra Mahadesikaya Nama:
