These twelve Prabhandhams between themselves
house 167 Paasurams .
 
Today we will start with SrI VaishNava Dinasari dealing with
the daily anushtAnams of SrI VaishNavAs. SaasthrAs state
that a Sri VaishNavan's day has to be split in to five time units
and each of these time units should focus on one of the assigned 
anushtAnams.These five prescribed anushtAnams are:
 
1. Abhigamanam: Prayer and Prapatthi anushtAnam ,
where the Lord is beseeched to bless the Saadhakan with
uninterrupted kaimkaryams to Him throughout the day .This
is very important anushtAnam for a SanyAsi .  
 
2. UPAADHAANAM : There are two aspects to UpAdhAnam:
(a) Assembly of saamagriyaas (material) for Bhagavadh
AarAdhanam (b) cleansification of mind through kaalkshEpam of
the Sri Sookthis of AzhwArs and AchAryAs, since a clean  mind
is essential for performing AarAdhanam for Sriman NaarAyaNa.  
 
3. IJYAI :Performance of the ThiruvArAdhanam for Sriman
NaarAyaNa according to the procedures laid out by
PaacncharAthra aagamam and ahnika granthams. 
 
4. SVAADHYAAYAM : Familiarization of VedAntha BhAgams
through study and reflection .
 
5. YOGAM :  DhyAnam of Sriman NaarAyaNa's sacred feet
and observance of sleep with the meditation that one's head
is resting on the sacred feet of Sriman NaarAyaNa.  
 
In this Prabhandham , Swamy Desikan makes
the PanchakAla kriyAs as vishayams about
Lord VaradarAjan . He uses two Paasurams
for each of the five divisions to describe
the activites during the day of a SrI VaishNavan .
 
The whole Prabhnadham has been set in
the simpler Kali Viruttham(metre) . Perhaps ,
Swamy Desikan chose this viruttam(metre) for
chasing away the Kali dhOsham through the five
kinds of prescribed anushtAnams for the day of
a Sri VaishNavan.
