SUMMARY: The Pundits, after Sri Poornaprajnaru explained the deeper meaning of Dana Sukta, understood that his authority over Scriptures and eloquence. They surrendered to him with a great sense of respect and reverence; they honored him and prostrated before him. Even the deities surrender unto him. Don’t they?

This stanza amply proved the all-round knowledge of Sri Poornapajnaru to the eminent scholars. Even gods such as Indra, Varuna keep listening to the lecture and interpretation of Shastras. It is not surprising that human beings are attracted by his explanation.

SUMMARY: During another discourse, Sri Madhwacharyaru was explaining a Sukta in which Lord Indra, after getting worshipped by a young woman, bestowed upon her physical form a divine radiation. In that context, Sri Madhwacharyaru gave the meaning of the word “ApAlA” as “Young and vibrant female” .

The Sukta referred to in this stanza is in Rig Veda (8/91/7). The full lyrics is as follows:

SUMMARY: When a Pundit began arguing incessantly that “ApAla” actually means “a woman infected with Leucoderma”, Sri Madhwacharyaru said “A scholar is coming here in a short while. You can ask him about it” and moved away.

In the next stanza, Sri Madhwacharyaru describes the physical features of the person expected to be reaching the place of discourse. This clearly indicates that Sri Madhwacharyaru had thorough knowledge of past, present and future.
