Transliterations and translation

P.R.Ramachander
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.
