Still, there aremany works of the same author composed on our Lord Swmi Varavaramuni whoprotects all the worlds and rvaishavas as evidenced by our prayer "aiyrka vzha .... maava mmuniy innumoru ntrnirum". We shall experience today the suprabhtam and mangasanam composed by Swmi PB A an on Swmi Varavaramuni. This is a translation of the work by r. U.Ve.

1) raviruditastvathpi na vinayati m timiramvikasati pankajam hrdayapankajamva na m |varavaraygivarya! varaya! dayaikanidh!jayajaya dva jgrhi janshu nidhhi dhiyam ||

The Sun has risen, yet the darkness of my ignorance has not been dispelled. Thelotuses have blossomed, unlike the lotus of my heart. O Varavaramuni Swamin!O Refuge of all! O Lordship of mercy! Victory to Thee! Thou must awake andarise, for good intellect to rise in (the horizon) of Thy devotees.

2) svapanamidam tava svamahimnubhavaikarasamtadapi tathvidam taditi jtu na vtti jana: |varavaraygivarya! tadidam vijahtu bhavnaparimitam hitam trijagatmanucintayitum ||

O Varavaramuni Swmin! Thy sleep is a reflection of Thy greatness(unlike thesleep of the world that arises due to ignorance and laziness).However, the people of the world do not realize this. Thou should rise,abandoning this sleep, in order to reflect upon the supreme well-being of all threeworlds.(Special Note: It is worth mentioning here that according to other works on thehistory of Swmi Periya Jyar, it has been mentioned that Swmi leaves for restonly after 11 p.m. at night and rises around 3 a.m in the morning. Also, SwmiKoil A an mentions that Swmi Varavaramuni experiences the Lord Periya Perum even in sleep. Hence, readers shall remain aware of the kind and duration of sleep that Swmi is asked to leave in this prayer.)

There are still others, who cross thisworld by the might of Thy sweet, comprehensive, clear and effective words.
