(song to wake up)
By
Poonthanam
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(The first Suprabatham of tamil was composed in 9th
Centuary and that in Sanskrit in the
year 1430 AD.Poonthanam who lived
between (1547-1640) has this
great prayer to wake up his lord
.Can we call it a Suprabatham?)
1.Palli kkurupoo amarumenna kanakke nin mei,
Pillarkku urappu janani vacha samsayam may,
Ullil karappu kalavaan thiru ullamode,
Pallikuruppu unara venam
manantha saayi
Y our body was
lying as if you
are sleeping,
And we children were
assured by the mother that it
is without any doubt,
And for removing
the dirt within our mind,
Oh Lord lying on
Adhi sesha , please wake up.’-
2,Yellil
kalarnnezhum oru yenna kanakke , Aathmaa,
Vellarkkum
yennthariyaathe mayanginen jnan,
Thalli kalanju sakalam mama kanmasham nee,
Ullil thelinju unara
venam udhara keerthe,
Without understanding
that the soul is for all,
Like the oil within gingelly , I just slept,
And you have pushed
off all the dirt from
my mind,
And oh god who is
famous as merciful,
With a clear mind, please
do wake up.
3.Mannil pirannu mathiyulla manushyanaayaal,
Unnithamai
kazhiyum aadhiyil ulla kaalam,
Ponnathamai athum ithum
karutheettum sesham,
Thanne thirinju
arikayennathu asaadhyamathre.
If you are
humans with brain born on the earth,
The initial years
would be spent as childish years.
And later we would
start thinking this
and that in a useless way,
And it is impossible
for them to understand
themselves.
4.noonam
thwath preethi nana vidha mahitha kadha nama sankeerthanam ko-,
Ndu athyantham sradhayullorkku athu
bahu vidhamayundu vedantha
vaakhyam,
Jnanum thwath
padha sandarsana oru pozhuthu angu
aaswadhippan,
Yirippon ananda prapathiyaake yennarulina bhagwan allayo
nee dhayaabdhe.
The sentances of
Vedas say that your affection can be got by hearing
The different
type of your stories as well as singing of your various
names with attention,
And I could
do it once by seeing
your feet and getting
the real joy,
Because oh
God , are you not
the ocean of mercy?
