Dear BhakthAs :
Let us continue with the enjoyment of the First ThiruppaLLiyezucchi
Paasuram( Kathiravan GuNa tisai vanthadainthAn-- -- ) .
The translation of the First Paasuram by Dr.V.K.S.N. Raghavan Swamy
is as follows : " Oh Lord of SrIrangam , the Sun has risen at the mountain
top of the eastern quarter. The thick darkness ( of the night ) has moved
off ; and , the beautiful daybreak has ushered in . The great (morning)
flowers have bloomed and honey ( in plenty ) drips from them . The
celestial beings and the kings have come here and gathered (standing)
in front of the gates of Your holy shrine. The male and female elephants
and the (beating of) the war drums of the kings make a loud noise
on all sides ; this loud noise is similar to the uproar of the waves of
the ocean . (hence it is already early morning ). Oh Lord RanganAtha ,
Please get up and bless us ".
Many scenes are compressed here as AzhwAr observes all the happenings
around him at Srirangam during that dawn . Aasu Kavi Kidambi Govindha
Iyengar Swamy uses three seperate slOkams to describe what ThoNDaradippodi
AzhwAr compressed in eight lines :
prAchyAm ravis-samudhagAth udhayAdhri srungam
gADam tamOapi gathamEsha viBhOdha kaala:
SarvAth sravanthi kusumAn naLinAn madhUni
IshvAku poojitha HarE Tava SuprabhAdham -- -- SlOkam 4
(Meaning ) : Sooryan has arrived at the peak of Udhya parvatham
in the East . The darkness of the night has gone. This is the morning
time for awakening . Honey is flowing aplenty from the blossomed
lotuses . Oh Lord worshipped by IshvAku MahArAjA . May this be an
auspicious dawn for You !

dEvAsccha dakshiNa disam nijavAhanAdhyai:
Santhyathra garvarahithA: purathOadhya sarvE
Sriranga Mangala MaNE Tava SuprabhAtham -- -- SlOkam 5
(Meaning): Oh RanganAthA ! The kings who rule the earth and
the DevAs who rule the heavens have arrived at Your courtyard
on their mounts and are standing with reverence to participate in
Your AarAdhanam . Oh the auspicious gem of Srirangam ! May this be
an auspicious dawn for You !

ghushyanthy bhErininAdhA: murajAdhi ghOshA:
somEna ghushyathi yaTA thu samudhraghOshA:
Sriranga PattanapathE Tava SuprAbhAtham -- -- SlOkam 6
(Meaning) : The elephants with their mates assembled at
Your court yard and are generating a lot of noise through their
bleatings ; those noises are joined by the sounds coming
from the beating of big drums and the blowing of trumpets.
The echoing gigantic sound all around resembles that of
the noise emanting out of the ocean on a moonlit night .
Oh the Lord of Srirangam ! May this dawn be an auspicous
one for You !
adiyEn will continue with the Second Paasuram of ThiruppaLLiyezhucchi
in the next posting as the AzhwAr describes the additional happenings
at dawn in Srirangam .
