Waking up rAmA

To set a positive note each dawn, I switch on some real music to the ears - devotional songs and slokas rendered by the incomparable MS. Number 1 in the playlist is invariably "Sri Venkatesa Suprabhatam". Here are the first couple of verses of this composition -
1. "kausalyasuprajarama!
purva sandhya pravartate,
uttistha! narasardula!
kartavyam daivam ahnikam.
(O! Rama! Kausalya's auspicious child! Twilight is approaching in the East. O! best of men (Purushottama)! Wake up, the divine daily rituals have to be performed.)
2. uttisthottistha! govinda!
uttistha garudadhvaja!
uttistha kamalakanta!
trailokyam mangalam kuru.
(O! Govinda, wake up! O! Garudadhvaja (one who has Garuda on his flag)! wake up. O! Kamalakanta (the husband of Kamala)! by rising, render the three worlds auspicious." )

The music serves as a wake-up call to my son, and as wake-up calls go, sounds infinitely better compared to the usual nag-and-prod method accompanied by repeated patience-testing shrieks.

One morning he happened to wake up somewhat early, and interrupted my morning chores with "Isn't it time to wake up (Lord) rAmA?"
