TEERTHA PRABANDHA STEP 5

(As stated at the beginning, there is no information about the exact number of books written by Sri Vadirajaru, even as many of his manuscripts are said to have not seen the light of the day yet. The available information is being furnished here. One more episode is required to complete the introduction on the known books. Please read, comment and share. SDN)            

3.   NOTES ON DASHOPANISHAD BHASHYA

These notes provide several brilliant and pragmatic meanings. Only a few of them have been found and it appears a few of those found have been published. Some initiative is needed to bring them to light.

4.   UPANYASA RATNAMALA

Sri Vadirajaru has chosen some important portions of his own works like Khandanatraya, Pramanapaddhati and Rukmineesha Vijaya and presented them in the form of discourses. In this book, Sri Vadirajaru has provided very good explanation.

5.   VIVARANAVRANA

This is a criticism of a book titled “PanchapAdikA VivaraNa” written by one Mr. Prakashatma Yati.   

6.   Although two books titled TantrasAravyAKhyA and MadhwavAgraja have been mentioned in other works frequently, they have not been traced so far.

7.   RUKMINEESHA VIJAYA MAHAKAVYA

Once, when Sri Vadirajaru had been to Pune, he saw a procession happening there. When he enquired, he was told that a book titled Shishupalavadha authored by poet Magha was being taken in procession as it had been declared as the most outstanding work. Sri Vadirajaru said that a better book was there in his possession and he could arrange to produce it within a days.  He wrote the book at the rate of one Sarga per day and completed the book in 19 Sargas and sent it to the king. After studying the book well, the scholars conceded that Rukmineesha Vijaya written by Sri Vadirajaru was superior. A procession of the book on the back of an elephant was also arranged at that time. Sri Vadirajaru was also felicitated by the king and scholars. This fact can be seen in many other works of Sri Vaidirajaru, including his biography.

8.   TEERTHAPRABANDHA

     This work has been introduced here and it will be translated.

9.   MAHABHARATA TATPARYANIRNAYA BHAVAPRAKASHIKA

This is an explanatory work on Sri Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya of Sri Madhwacharya with some extraordinary meanings and substantiation of several concepts and instances. In this book, he has called Sri Madhwacharyaru as the “Vadi” or defendant and his (Sri Vadiraja’s) king. “Like a Veena player, I have played the melodious tunes as per the direction of Sri Madhwacharyaru,” he has said.
