Dear BhakthAs :
Let us start the study of the Third ThiruppaLLiyezucchi
Paasuram.
The Third Paasuram of ThirupaLLiyezucchi takes this form :
SudaroLi paranthana soozhdisaiyellAm
tunniya tArakai minnoLi surungi
padaroLi pasutthanan panimathi ivanO
paayirul ahanRathu paimpozhirk-kamuhin
madalidik-keeRi vaNN paaLaihaL naaRa
vaikaRai koornthathu mArutham ithuvO
adaloLi thihazh taru tikiriyam tadakkai
ArangatthammA ! PaLLi yezhuntharuLAyE !
The translation of the Third Paasuram by
Dr. V.K.N.S.Raghavan Swamy is as follows :
" Oh Lord of Srirangam ! TheSun's lustrous rays have
now pervaded on all sides . The lightning-like lustre of
the stars has diminished and the bright Moon has
now become pale. And the darkness which was
all around here has gone off. this gentle morning
breeze blows now over the gardens after cleaving
through the branches of the areca nut trees to bring
its sweet fragrance. Oh Lord RanganAtha holding
the mighty and bright discus-weapon (tikiri=chakrAyudham)
on Your glorious and long hand ! Please get up
and bless us !
The Sanskrit version of the above Paasuram by
Sri T.Govindha IyengAr takes on this form:
SarvAsu Dhikshu taraNE : kiraNA vibhAnthy
nakshathra-dheepthaya imA malinee bhavanthy
Nakshathra bhUpathyrasou malinam gathOsthy
Sriranga Patthana PathE Tava SuprabhAtham
(Meaning ): The rays of Sun have spread now in
all directions. The bright stars in the sky have lost
their lustre. The brightness of the Moon has dimmed.
Oh Lord of Srirangam ! May this dawn be an auspicious
one for You !
In Sri VenkatEsa SuprabhAtham , PrathivAdhi Bayankaram
ANNAn has been inspired by the third paasruam passage
and has drawn a word portrait of the morning breeze laden
with the delightful , mixed fragrance of slightly opened lotus
flowers , coconut and areca nut tree blossoms from
their sheaths wafting thru Srirangam (7th SlOkam) :
Ishath prapulla saraseeruha naarikEla
pookadhrumAdhi sumanOhara paalikAnAm
aavAthy mandham anila: saha dhivyagandhai:
SeshAdhri Sekhara VibhO Tava SuprabhAtham
The advancement of the dawn in to morning is
hinted here . The sights and scents of that cool
morning at Srirangam is described by AzhwAr
to awaken Sri RanganAthA with PrayOga Chakram
in His hand . Chakram stands for the sankalpa sakthi of
the Lord and AzhwAr begs the Lord to awaken and
bless all of the assembled devotees in the Lord's
courtyard ( Aranganin MuRRam).
In the next posting , we will study together
the fourth Paasuram of ThiruppaLLiyezhucchi .
