Background

This verse is Valmiki Ramayana, Bala Kanda 1.23.2. At dawn on the bank of the Sarayu, the sage Vishvamitra wakes the young Rama: Kausalya's fortunate son, the morning twilight has come, rise, tiger among men, the daily duty to the gods awaits. The Venkateswara Suprabhatam, traditionally attributed to Prativadi Bhayankaram Annan (15th century, a disciple of Manavala Mamuni), takes these words as its call to wake the Lord of Tirumala, and its next line, 'uttishthottishtha Govinda', turns the call to Venkateswara. Only this one verse is given on this page; the full Suprabhatam, Stotram, Prapatti and Mangalasasanam are a longer composition.

Source

Valmiki Ramayana, Bala Kanda 1.23.2. The speaker is the sage Vishvamitra, not Rama's father: having brought the two princes to the Sarayu, he wakes them at the break of dawn.

Meaning of the words

'Kausalya supraja Rama' addresses Rama as the fortunate son of Kausalya. 'Naraśārdūla' means 'tiger among men', and 'daivam āhnikam' is the daily duty owed to the gods, such as the dawn sandhya prayers.

Why it begins the Suprabhatam

The composer took this Ramayana verse as the call to wake the deity. The next line, 'uttishthottishtha Govinda', carries the same call to Venkateswara at Tirumala.
