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’.
