SUMMARY: Sri Poornaprajnaru crossed several countries, rivers that were overflowing, places where people were following their own cultural ethos, won the debates against scholars, who were clever, equipped with many tricks and had won numerous debates of high quality and received a variety of objects, by condemning many cults and continued his expedition in his desired and cherished path and spread his philosophy among all.

Sri Madhwacharyaru personally went to the places where distinguished, highly knowledgeable scholars were residing and won over them in the debates on spirituality.

This stanza affirms that real expedition is one that aims at spreading the real philosophy; expedition aimed at acquiring donations is wasteful and meaningless.

SUMMARY: Sri Madhwacharyaru saw Payaswini River; after seeing that river, he recalled that very soon the incarnation of Sri Durga Devi will be happening on the shores of Payaswini River that was like an identification mark or headdress of Kerala, had felled several trees of varied species on its way through spate and was being worshipped by Brahmins.

After seeing Payaswini River, Sri Madhwacharyaru remembered that the incarnation of Durga Devi was soon to happen to destroy demons. This point has already been explained under Stanza 4 of Chapter 4.

Our Scriptures mention that whenever we visit a pilgrimage centre, we should remember the Utsavs that may happen in that place in the future.
