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.
