SUMMARY: The people of Pajaka complimented infant Vasudeva, who was displaying several childish actions and had the same name as Lord Krishna, like they would have complimented Lord Vasudeva Krishna.

It should be realised here that only a very few infant acts of Vasudeva during childhood have been explained in Madhwavijaya. Another important aspect is that there was a rank similarity in the childish activities of Vasudeva and Lord Vasudeva Krishna.

SUMMARY: Although Lord Vayu, an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu, was secretly roaming about there, the mind of pious and the righteous brimmed with mirth. Is it not true that the eyes of the pious and the Lily blossom together even after the Sun rises after his rays disappear due to clouds?  

What is symbolically stated here is that pious people wake up and lilies blossom much before the Sun rises with the hope that the Sun will rise and infuse life into their lives. The reality that Vasudeva was none other than Lord Vayu had not yet been known to ordinary people, not even the parents of Sri Madhwa. However, several scholarly persons and staunch devotees of Lord Vishnu had become very happy that they would soon be relieved from the lack of knowledge or lack of true knowledge that would pave way for realisation and salvation.
