Tirupalliyeḻuchi
Tamil Hindu work of literature / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tirupalliyeḻuchi (Tamil: திருப்பள்ளியெழுச்சி, romanized: Tirupaḷḷiyeḻucci, lit. 'the rousing of the sacred temple'),[1] also rendered Tirupalli Eluchi,[2] is a work of Tamil Hindu literature written by Tondaradippodi Alvar,[3] comprising ten hymns. The title of this work is a reference to the act of Suprabhatam, a Sri Vaishnava ritual, the prayer at dawn that is believed to rouse Vishnu from his sleep and protect the world.[4] The work is part of the compendium of the hymns of the Alvars, known as the Nalayira Divya Prabandham.[5]
