(An
attempt is made in this episode to provide available information about four
more titles authored by Sri Vadirajaru. It must be reiterate that there is no
documentary evidence or any other means by which we can know the exact number
of books and other forms of literature have been graciously left by Sri
Vadirajaru to “Lead us with kindly light on the path of knowledge, realisation
of ultimate truth and categorical supremacy of Lord Hari.” Please read, comment
and share. SDN)

LAKSHABHARANA
TEEKA OF MAHABHARATA
Sri
Vadirajaru provides humanity with the meaning of one lakh words chosen from Mahabharata.
The mother had vouched in front of Sri Bhuvaraha Swamy that if she were to get a
baby boy, she would submit to the Lord’s feet one lakh gold jewels. After
providing the special and intrinsic meaning of one lakh words from Mahabharata
and told his mother: “Dear mother, I have submitted one lakh jewels to the
Lord. His mother asked: “How is possible? I have not seen you submitting the
jewels.” Then, Sri Vadirajaru appeared in her dream and made her immensely
happy by showing her Sri Bhuvaraha Swamy bedecked with one lakh jewels. Sri
Vadirajaru has said that when he was in meditation at Sandhya Mutt in Prayag,
Sri Vyasa appeared in person in front of him and expressed a desire that he
(Sri Vadirajaru) wrote the meaning for one lakh words chosen from Mahabharata. Sri
Vadirajaru saluted Sri Vyasaru, when he appeared in front of him, with the
following Shloka:

SUMMARY:
I salute you Sri Vyasa, who is an unparalleled composer, makes ill-motivated, misinterprets
tired and unnerved, gives confidence to those who adore him, soothes the
devotees like water, assures protection to those who surrender to him and
always lives in the heart of Sri Madhwacharyaru.

SWAPNAVRUNDAVANAKHYANA
This is an
exemplary and mysterious work which Sri Vadirajaru makes a dumb Brahmin as a
mouthpiece and narrates about his own form in the form of poetry, that too,
after he disappeared from this Earth. Everyone should know that Sri Vadirajaru
did not “shed” his corporal body like any being but disappeared from our midst.
5.
STOTRAS
According to some
unknown source, it is said that Sri Vadirajaru has composed 365 Stotras at the
rate of one Stotra a day and was reciting it while offering worship to the
Lord. Sri Vadirajaru has, in a way, rendered a great help to Madhwa community
by composing these highly valuable Stotras as there was a dearth of Stotras in
praise of Lord Vishnu for Madhwas to recite. Hundreds of his Stotras have been
unearthed, a few have been published. The most popular among his Stotras is Dashavatara
Stuti. It is said that whenever Sri Vadirajaru was reciting this Stotra, Lord
Sri Hayagreeva was coming there, joyously jumping, leaping and dancing. SreeshaguNadarpaNa,
Sri KrishnAShTaka that begins with the word “PAlayAchyuta”, Sri Navagraha
Stotra and others have caught the attention and earned appreciation of one and
all.

MAHABHARATA
TATPARYA NIRNAYA IN KANNADA
Sri Vadirajaru
has written this in Kannada, albeit in the form of summary. The Mahabharata
Tatparya Nirnaya was written by Sri Madhwacharyaru.
7.
Sri Vadirajaru
has written several devotional songs in
Kannada and he is
the first person to have heralded the practice of singing songs in praise of
the Lord during Puja. The Bhajans sung in Kartik Maas were written by Sri
Vadirajaru. Sri Hayavadana is his pen name. Lakshmishobhana, Swapnagadya,
Vaikunthavarnane, Keechakavadha and Gundkriye are pregnant with meaning and
they have high spiritual value.
(In the next
episode, some of the miracles displayed by Sri Vadirajaru will be mentioned.
