Sumadhva Vijaya 10: Dwadasha Sarga

Sumadhva Vijaya 10: Dwadasha Sarga

Shri Poornapragnacharya was brilliantly spreading the Madhva siddantha in such a way that those who were following Advaita philosophy were scared and tried to block the spread of Dvaita philosophy by adopting crooked methods. Mayavadis assembled together and approached Padmanabhatheertha (not the Sishya of Shri Madhvacharya) a great Advaiti at that time to stop Shri Acharya from spreading Madhva siddantha. The Mayavadis in Udupi also prepared an Advaiti Pundirikapuri to win against Shri Acharya. In the debate Pundirikapuri could not succeed in proving that Mayavaada is superior to Tatvavaada and he was totally defeated by Shri Acharya. The Vedavaani of Shri Acharya resembled Lord Krishna and Droupadi. Pundarikapuri pronounced “agninaa rayimashnam’ as ‘agni’ ‘naarayim’ and became a laughing stock in front of all scholars present there. Pandarikspuri had earned a tittle ‘pundithashardula’ became a ‘mayigomayi’. All the Shastra granthas of Shri Acharya was stolen by Padmatheertha. Then Shri Madhvacharya meeting Padmanabhatheertha in Pragryavata grama where he was staying argued, debated and defeated him and victoriously came back. As sun with his seven horses brightens the sky in the east everywhere, Shri Acharya with his seven vidyes namely Rigveda, Yajurveda, Saamaveda, Atharvaveda, Mahabharata, Pancharathra and Mula Ramayana brighten the whole Universe. Hence there is no opportunity for any thieves in the form of Mayavadis to steal Tatvavaadas. As Narayana avatars were due to kill Asuras, Vayu avatar of Shri Madvacharya was due to victory over Mayavadis and to establish that Lord Vishnu as sarvothama. In the end of this sarga, Author compares the ornaments worn by Lord Vishnu as follows: Vedas are like Sudarshana Chakra; Brahma tharka as Panchajanya shanka; Puranas as Komodaki; Pancharathra as Shajna Dhanus; Brahma sutras as Arrows; Mahabharata and Mula Ramayana as Nanda Khadgas which are worn by Lord Vishnu. Shri Poornapragna left for ‘Kodipadi’ (pragryavati) temple from ‘Kavu’ for ‘Chathurmaasa’.

Sumadhva Vijaya 9: Navamah Sarga

Sumadhva Vijaya 9: Navamah Sarga                                                                                                                  

Shri Madvacharya returned to Vedavyasashrama from Narayanashrama. After offering respects to Vedavyasa devaru and with his permission Shri Acharya left for vishala Badari. The disciples were happy to see their Guru with them again. Acharya was offered bhikshe by Agni Sharma and other Brahmins. Acharya surprised everyone by taking the bhikshe at one time. Shri Madvacharya composed Brahma sutra commentary by quoting smruthis and by proving with illustrations the real meaning of the Bhagavantha's omnipotence and nirdoshatva (faultlessness) as described in sutras. Brahma sutra commentary of Acharya was copied by Shri Sathy Theertha. Near Godavari where Gautama Rishi had cursed the Brahmins to lose their power of knowledge in tatva jnana, Shri Acharya promoted the real meaning of Brahma sutra in that very place. Shri Acharya condemned the Pundits who were well versed with 18 shAke of Rigveda by giving necessary answers , when they tried to test him. In that assembly, a great Pundit Shobana Bhat who was present was very much impressed with Acharya’s knowledge in Brahma sutra. Shohana Bhat started preaching Madhva Shastra and later he became Sishya (disciple) of Shri Acharya. Shobhana Bhat became Padmanabahatheertha when he took sanyasatva. By listening Madhva Shastra, one can attain immense knowledge as one gets all benefit by keepimg and worshiping balamuri shanka. Madhva Shastra will be listened by pious people who are benefitted with the tathva jnana. Shri Madhvacharya returned to Udupi and offered prayers to Lord Anantheshwara. Shri Poornapragna made his Guru Achyutha Preksha to listen properly to the commentary on Brahma Sutra. Achyutha Bhat started preaching Madhva siddantha. Shri Poornapragna installed Shri Krishna idol after immersing and doing abhisheka in Madhva sarovara. During installation of the image, Shri Acharya composed “Dwadasha Stotra”. When Shri Poornapragna was taking bath in in the Ocean near Odabhaandeshwara, a ship coming from Dwaraka was struck in the ocean, the Captain of the ship pleaded for help. Shri Poornapragna by waving a shaati helped the Captain to anchor near Odabhaandeshwara. The Captain of the ship was very pleased and requested Shri Acharya to take anything as a gift from him. Shri Acharya selected a gopichandana rock. In that rock, Lord Krishna prathime was found. This prathime is supposed to be worshipped by Rukmini in Dwaraka. This prathime was washed in Madhva Sarovara and after doing abhisheka it was carried over to Math by Shri Acharya. When the prathime was taken by Shri Acharya, it became so heavy that even 30-40 Sishyas together could not lift it. Afterwards Shri Acharya conducted a yagna through his Guru’s son Vyasadevachar. Shri Acharya reached Badari second time to present Brahma sutra commentary to Lord Narayana. Thereafter, Shri Acharya returned to Udupi and offered prayer to Lord Anantheshwara.                                  Compiled by J. Sudhindra Simha.

Sumadhva Vijaya 3: Tritiya Sarga

Sumadhva Vijaya 3: Tritiya Sarga

Madyageha couple once attended a marriage. Vasudeva was just 3years old. In the function he was neglected by his parents. Vasudeva decided to leave that place all alone. He entered many temples on the way and prostrated to Lord Narayana. He reached Udupi and prayed Ananthasana Devaru very happily. All this shows the devotion towards Lakshmi Narayana by Vayudevaru. When Madygehabhat realized the absence of Vasudeva, he went in search of him. When he could trace him, he asked Vasudeva who was with him and who helped him to go for such a long distance. Vasudeva smiled and answered his father that Narayana was with him. The answer given by 3 year old child surprised Madygehabhat. He silently prayed God to protect his son always. Near Pajaka, Vasudeva was spending his time alone in Vimanagiri where Shri Durga Devi was existing. She was protecting Vasudeva always. Vimanagiri (Durga betta) is at a distance of about 2 kms from Pajaka. Madygehabhat started inculcating aksharabhyas to Vasudeva. Even now the stone used for learning by Shri Madhvacharya can be seen in Pajaka kshethra. Acharya questioned his father about the repetition of the same lesson again and again. Observing the grasping capacity of his son, Madygehabhat started teaching him lessons in a private place where nobody could disturb them. When Vasudeva attended a marriage with his mother, he observed that a man by name Shiva who was lecturing on Purana was improper. Vasudeva gave the correct interpretation and got the appreciation by the people assembled there. On reaching home Vasudeva got the affirmation from his father that he had done the right thing. In a lecture on purana Madygehabhat did not give the meaning of the word “likucha”. Vasudeva insisted his father to give the meaning for the word “likucha”. Then Madygehabhat gives the meaning of ’likucha’ as ‘hebbalasu’ (money jack fruit tree). Trivikramacharya of “Vayu stuti” and his son Narayana Pandithacharya of “Sumadhva Vijaya” belonged to ‘likucha’ race. When Vasudeva reached the age of 5 years, Madygehabhat performed upanayana (ceremony of investiture with the sacred thread) and brahmopadesha (instruction in sacred knowledge) to Vasudeva amidst great scholars. All the twelve devathes mentioned in Mahabharata as karma saakshis (witnesses of all acts) laughed at the advice (upadesha) given to bhavi (future) brahma. When Vasudeva was wondering in Vimanagiri a rakshasa (giant) in the form of serpent bit his feet. Vasudeva made that serpent to pieces by just placing his foot fingers on it. The serpent is believed to be Manimantha who had come in that form to take revenge on Vasudeva. Even today this spot can b seen in Vimanagiri. As Vayudevaru was in the form of a human being avatar he was starting to study Vedas after doing namaskara (offering respect) to his Guru (Teacher). In swimming and other water sports, Vasudeva was coming first. The strong people were also getting defeated by Vasudeva. Vasudeva was not allowing anyone to escape from his grip whereas he was easily escaping from others very easily. Hence Vasudevaru is called “akhanaashmasama”. Vasudeva’s Guru made comment on Vasudeva that he is not a good student in Guru Kula (house of Guru). Guru also condemned Vasudeva directly. Then Vasudeva replied that the lessons taught by Guru are not interesting and do not go to his mind. This reply made Guru very angry and he asked Vasudeva to analyze the next mantra in the lesson. Vasudeva without hesitation analyzed the next portion of the mantra which surprised his Guru as well as other pupils. When Guru’s son was suffering from acute head ache, Vasudeva by blowing the air in his ears cured the headache. Shri Madvacharya created Aithareya Upanishad bhashya and presented it as a gift to his Guru before leaving Guru Kula vasa.
