May the pious, virtuous
be empathetic and kind towards me as I am making a fool of myself by attempting
to cryptically describe the mysterious powers of Great Lord Vayu, which even
the most pious persons and deities, including Lord Rudra and Indra, have been
yearning to describe through Vedic hymns.
MantravarNaihi means
Mantra Varnas or hymns of Vedas. The various qualities, traits and deeds of
Lord Vayu have been described in BalithThA SUkta.
By calling himself ‘Mayi
mandabudhDhau” Sri Narayana Panditacharyaru has stated that the Leelas of Lord
Vayu are worth describing in infinite terms. But by trying to compress those
Leelas in “SankShipnuvAkyE”, the poetic persona feels that he is making an
attempt at describing something that is beyond description.

universe happens due to the grace of Lord Mukhyaprana, which particular act of
that Lord can I emphasise to be astonishing, mysterious or miraculous. Yet, is
it not highly meritorious to narrate a part of the story of the great and
virtuous in whatever little way we can?

My eyesight is
certainly opaque and blurred as I am trying to make a garland out of the
various gems and diamonds of the stories of such an astounding deity, Lord Vayu.
Besides, due to over-enthusiasm or haste, I might not have recorded the stories
in proper sequence. Something that could be narrated later might have been
stated much earlier and vice versa. I beseech the virtuous and knowledgeable to
pardon me every now and then due to such fallacies.
(Due to space
constraint and also factors like paucity of time for readers to fully
understand and assimilate the beauty of this great work word by word, summary
of only two-three Shlokas is given. Hope it will meet with your kind approval
as ever. Further, appropriate images are not available for these Shlokas.
Hence, different images of Sri Madhwacharyaru are given. Sorry if any image is
repeated. Please read, re-read, comment and share. SDN)
