PRAYER TO Sri Madhwacharyaru (ಶ್ರೀ ಮಧ್ವಾಚಾರ್ಯರ ಸ್ತುತಿ) - 2

The name “Madhwa” is spelt in Vedas. Madhwa has been mentioned in Balittha Sukta (ಬಳಿತ್ಥಾ ಸೂಕ್ತ) and Pavamanamandala (ಪವಮಾನಮಂಡಲ). Therefore, Sri Madhwacharyaru is propitiated in Vedic literature and that is why, Sri Jagannatha Dasaru has specifically used Madhwa in this context. Sri Anandatirtha is adjectival in nature.

Sri Vayustuti addresses Sri Madhwacharyaru as Trailokyacharyaru (ತ್ರೈಲೋಕ್ಯಾಚಾರ್ಯರು)which signify the “Chaturdasha” Lokas namely BhUhu, Bhuvaha, Swaha, Mahaha, Janaha, Tapaha, Satyam, Atala, Vitala, Sutala, TalAtala, RasAtala, MahAtala and PAtAla (ಭೂಃ, ಭುವಃ, ಸ್ವಃ, ಮಹಃ, ಜನಃ, ತಪಃ, ಸತ್ಯಂ, ಅತಲ, ವಿತಲ, ಸುತಲ, ತಲಾತಲ, ರಸಾತಲ, ಮಹಾತಲ ಮತ್ತು ಪಾತಾಲ). Sri Madhwacharyaru has also been called as Bhuvanaguru and Vishwaguru since what the interpretation he has given to Brahmasutras is all pervasive, eternal and the ultimate truth. This is the reason he has been described as Apratima. No image or imagery can ever match Sri Madhwacharyaru. In addition, Pratima is a synonym of Prateeka, which means reminiscent, similar or look-alike and denotes corporal body or human form. Apratima is the antonym of Pratima, which denotes that the form of Sri Madhwacharya is “out of this world of corporal bodies”.

SUMMARY: Sri Hari, who is in five-dimensional form (Pancharupatmaka) like Narayana, is the Supreme God in this wor

ld that is made of five types of difference. The five-faced Gods like Shiva, Indra and others are his assistants; Tenets are twenty-five; and I remember every day that Brahma-designate Sri Anandatirtharu for paving the way to salvation (Moksha) by making us aware that there is difference between the Gods and deities and the demons.
