This great Suprabhatham was composed by one of the greatest savants of
Vaishnaism, Sri Prathivadhi Bhayangaram Annangaracharyar and is a
splendid Sri Sookthi that is recited every morning in front of the
Sayana Mantapam(place for sleeping) at Thirumalai. This was composed by
the author because of a request from his Guru Sri.Manavala Mamunigal.
This great poem was translated recently by Dr.Cha.Parthasarathy in to soulful tamil.
I
have made a very feeble attempt to translate the same to English.I am
giving below the transliteration of the Sanskrit and tamil originals as
well as my translation .I believe that such great works are composed
only by divine inspiration.
