Chanting Suprabatham to wake up Vibhava and Archavathar is in vogue since Ramaavathar days in Treta Yuga.. Sage Viswamitra took Rama and Lakshmana to the forest to help protect his Yaga from demons. In the mornings Sage Viswamitra used to sing suprabatham to wake up Rama to get ready to his duty of protecting his yaga.
कौसल्या सुप्रजा राम पूर्वासन्ध्या प्रवर्तते ।
उत्तिष्ठ नरशार्दूल कर्तव्यं दैवमाह्निकम् ॥ 1 ॥
