Oh tiger among men! Oh PurushOtthamA ! Please wake up. The divine nithya karmAs have to be performed .   (Comments): This slOkam is from Adhi Kavi VaalmIki's Srimadh RaamAyaNam . During the journey with sageVisvAmithrA , both RaamA and LakshmaNA had rested for the night on the banks of GangA river . As the dawn was about to break, Sage VisvAmithrA endearingly awakens the brothers to perform SandhyAvandhanam . The affectionate address of RaamA as "Kousalyaa SuprajA " reminds one of KulasEkara AzhwAr's paasura vaakyam : " Mannu pukazh Kousalai tann maNi vayiRu vaaytthavanE " .   (2) UtthishtOtthishta Govindha Utthishta Garudadhvaja Uthishta KamalAkAntha ThrylOkyam MangaLam kuru   Oh GovindhA , the Protector of all souls !
