Dear BhakthAs : The section of the fourth Paasuram: " mEttiLa mEthikaL taLai vidum aayarkaL vEynkuzhl Oasaiyum vidai maNikkuralum " found its echo in the Samskrutha Sri RanganAtha SuprabhAdha slOkam of KidAmbi Govinda IyengAr Swamy this way : SrIdhEnava: thruNacharA: nijakaNDa-bhAddha- gaNDA ninAdha madhurA: vrushabhAdhayOapi gopAla hastha dhrutha vENuravA: dhvananthi Sriranga Patthana pathE Tava SuprabhAdham (Meaning) : The cows and the bulls marked by the sweet sound of the bells tied to their necks are grazing . The flute in the hands of GopAs are being played. Oh Lord of Rangam ! May this be an auspicious dawn to You ! Let us start today with the study of the next ThiruppaLLiyezucchi (Fifth) Paasuram , which takes this form : Pulambina putkkaLum poompozhilkaLin vaay pOyiRRUk-kangul puhunthathu pulari kalanthathu guNa disaik-kanai kadal aravam kaLi vaNDu mizhaRRiya kalampakam punaintha alankalanthodayal koNDu adiyiNai paNivAn amararkaL puhunthanar aathalil AmmA ! IlankayarkkOn vazhipAdu sey kOil EmperumAn ! PaLLI yezhuntharuLAyE The translation of the Fifth Paasuram by Dr. K.C.VaradAchAri Swamy is as follows : The birds in the flower garden have woken up . The night has passed away . The morning has come. The sounds of the waves of the sea are coming from the east . The celestials have arrived with beautiful garlands made of manifold flowers humming with honey bees , to offer them at Thy holy feet .Therefore ,my Master, Oh Lord of the temple , where the ruler of LankA (VibhIshaNa ) worships Thee ! Wake up from Thy sleep and bless us ! This Paasuram reminds us of the two passages from AndaL's ThiruppAvai: (1) PuLLum silambina kaaNN - - - Paasuram 6 ( Birds are able to discern the onset of the day and they have woken up and generating noises .They are announcing the dawn of a new day. Oh Lord ! Please wake up ) . (2) " Keesu keesu yenRu yengum aanaicchAttham kalanthu pesina pEccharavam " - - - ThiruppAvai Paasuram 7 (All around, the the sounds of the chatter of the birds are heard that announces the day break ) . Comments on this Paasuram passages ****************************************** (A) ThoNDaradippodi says : "Pulambina PuttkaLum poompozhilhaLin vaay" The birds that were sleeping in their nests at the flower gardens have woken up and are chattering away. PiLLLai PiLLaiAzhwAn comments elsewhere that the cacophony of the birds at dawn are indication of the Bhagavath SamAsrayaNa anukoola kaalam ( Time favorable for being with the Lord). (B) "pOyiRRu kangul puhunthathu pulari " - - - The darknes of the night has gone and a bright new day has dawned . For a prapannan , who has acquired the dawn of Jn~Anam thru AchArya Sambhandham , the time between the time of performance of SaraNAgathy to the time of MOksham is extended Brahma MuhUrtham . Now darknes (ajn~Anam) is gone and the dawn has arrived with its bright offering . (C) " guNa disai Kanaikadal aravam kalanthathu " : the neighing sounds of the eastern ocean is spreading all around. The neighing sound reminds one of Sarva VidhyA AadhAra Moorthy " Lord HayagrIvan ( " Praachi sandhya kaachith antharnisAyaa " reference in Sri Hayagriva SthOthram compares the Lord being the eastern dawn for the dark night of ajn~Anam ). (D) " KaLi vaNDu mizhaRRiya kalambakam punaintha , alangalam thodayal koNDadiNai paNivAn amararhaL puhunthanar " : The celestials have arrived carrying the freshly constructed garlands , where the honey bees are still hovering over the flowers of the garland . The garland-bearing dEvAs have assembled to worship Your matchless sacred feet . (E) ThoNDardippodi cites all the signs of day break and says to the Lord: " aathalil AmmA PaLLi YezhauntharuLAyE " . AzhwAr says : Now that you have seen all these evidences , therefore , You should wake up . (F) AzhwAr reminds the links of Srirangam to VibhIshaNan in this Paasuram with the paasage : " IlangayarkOn vazhipAdu sey koil EmperumAnE ! PaLLiyezhuntharuLAyE " . Oh Lord of the Temple worshipped by the Lord of LankA , VibhishaNan ! Please wake up now that it is dawn and bless us.
