The Venkateswara Suprabhatam is a collection of hymns recited in the early morning to awaken Lord Venkateswara, the presiding deity of the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple. It is traditionally attributed to Prativadi Bhayankaram Annangaracharya, a revered Vaishnava saint from the 15th century.

The Suprabhatam consists of four main parts:

• Suprabhatam: This section, comprising 29 verses, awakens the Lord and describes the beauty of the dawn.
• Stotram: This part, with 11 verses, offers praise and glorification to Lord Venkateswara.
• Prapatti: This section, containing 16 verses, is an act of complete surrender and devotion to the Lord.
• Mangalasasanam: The final part, with 14 verses, concludes with prayers for the well-being of the Lord and the devotees.

While providing the full, original Sanskrit lyrics along with their English transliteration and translation would be an extensive undertaking for a single response, here are the opening lines of the first verse (Suprabhatam) to give you a sense of its essence:

Original Sanskrit:

कौसल्यासुप्रजा राम पूर्वा संध्या प्रवर्तते ।

उत्तिष्ठ नरशार्दूल कर्तव्यं दैवमाह्निकम् ॥

English Transliteration:

Kausalyāsuprajā rāma pūrvā sandhyā pravartate |

uttiṣṭha naraśārdūla kartavyaṁ daivamāhnikam ||

English Translation:

O Rama, the worthy son of Kausalya, the eastern twilight has dawned.

O best among men, arise, for the daily divine duties are to be performed.

The entire Suprabhatam is a beautiful lyrical composition that evokes deep devotion and a sense of spiritual awakening. Many devotional websites, books, and audio recordings offer the complete lyrics with translations for those who wish to delve deeper into its profound meaning.
