When Manimanta and other wicked people propagated twenty-one wrong and insane interpretations to the Brahmasutras, Sri Madhwa, an incarnation of the consort of Goddess Bharati, Lord Vayu, took birth from the womb of the wife of a Brahmin named Madhyageha and I salute him (Sri Madhwacharyaru).

As per SumadhwavijayabhAvaprakAshikA, the twenty-one “KubhAshya” or insane interpretations of “Brahma SutrAs” are as follows:

BhArateevijaya – SamvidAnanda – BrahmaGhOSha – ShatAnanda – Udwarta – Vijaya – RudrabhaTTa – Vamana – YadavaprakAsha – RamAnuja – BhartruprapaMcha – DraviDa – Brahmadatta – BhAskara – PishAcha – VruttikAra – VijayabhaTTa – ViShNukrAnta – Vadeendra – MadhavadAsa – SankarakrutAnyEkavimshati kubhAShyANi|

ಭಾರತೀವಿಜಯ – ಸಂವಿದಾನಂದ – ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಘೋಷ – ಶತಾನಂದ – ಉದ್ವರ್ತ – ವಿಜಯ – ರುದ್ರಭಟ್ಟ – ವಾಮನ – ಯಾದವಪ್ರಕಾಶ – ರಾಮಾನುಜ- ಭರ್ತೃಪ್ರಪಂಚ – ದ್ರವಿಡ – ಬ್ರಹ್ಮದತ್ತ – ಪಿಶಾಚ – ವೃತ್ತಿಕಾರ – ವಿಜಯಭಟ್ಟ – ವಿಷ್ಣುಕ್ರಾಂತ – ವಾದೀಂದ್ರ – ಮಾಧವದಾಸ – ಸಂಕರಕೃತಾನ್ಯೇಕವಿಂಶತಿ ಕುಭಾಷ್ಯಾಣಿ ||

These treatises or commentaries on Brahmasutras are considered mundane, illogical and insane since they have all rejected the Supremacy of Lord Vishnu and contended that the existence of Lord Brahma and his creation universe was truism.    

Manimanta belonged to a community called Krodhavasha. He was a notorious demon and a servant of Kubera. Due to a boon secured from Lord Rudra, he had become Avadhya or one who could not be killed. Once he sneezed on Sage Agastya when the latter was doing penance and got cursed from Sage Agastya. Under the instructions of King Kubera, he was a leader of group of demons who were guarding a cluster of five-colored flowers in a pond at Alakapuri.  During Dwaparayuga, Bheemasena had defeated Manimanta in a debate in which the latter had contended that the universe, Lord Brahma and other concepts were false. Later, Bheemasena killed the demon leader by hitting him with the mace. He propagated mysticism across the globe. Yekalavya, another character during Dwaparayuga, was also an incarnation of Manimanta.
