Vishnu In sleeping Posture
Venkateshwara Suprabhatam
The Veṅkaṭeśasuprabhātam was composed around 1430 A.D. by
Prativādibhayaṅkara Śrī Anantācārya (also known as Annangaracharyar, and P B Annan), the
Rāmānujācārya of
Kanchipuram.
[1][4] The poet was a disciple of Swami
Manavala Mamuni, who composed Sri Ranganatha Suprabhatam. Sri Venkatesa Suprabhatam consists of four parts: Suprabhatam, Sri Venkatesa Stothram, Prapatti, and Mangalasasanam. Lakshmi Narayana deity, Sri-Bhu Devi sametha Padmanabha Swamy deity and 12 divya salagrama silas once worshiped by him are now with Prativada Bhayankaram Raghavacharyulu 15th generation from Sri Annan Swamy. These are now being worshiped daily at Divya Salagrama Kshetram in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh.
