SUMMARY:
When his father, who was in the forefront of Puraniks, was delivering a
discourse to an assemblage, ever sharp Vasudeva, who was a pleasure to the mind
and sight of people, entreated his father to explain further.
Vasudeva
had noticed that his father had failed to substantiate a stanza and made him
explain it later.

SUMMARY:
In the context under reference, Madhyageha was supposed to tell the names of
various trees. Taking cognisance of the fact that his father had skipped a
stanza, Vasudeva whispered in a low voice to his father, “why are you
proceeding with explanation without telling the meaning of one stanza.
Scholars
are of the view that the context might be related to an incident in the Canto
28, Sabhaparva of Mahabharata where
Dwaraka is explained. The names of trees might be: AmrAha panasavrukshAshcha ankOlAstilatindukAha|

Another
important fact is that Sri Trivikrama Pandit, who composed Sri Vayustuti, and
his son Narayana Pandit, who is the author of this “Madhwavijaya” belonged to a
family named asLikucha.
