SUMMARY: Doing many things during his journey that surprised the three worlds of Earth, Heavens and Nether, and giving pleasure to the minds of people just by remembering them, Sri Madhwacharyaru went very close to the Ashram at Badri, which was accessible to human beings.

Sri Madhwaru went close to the Ashram at Badari, which is easily accessible to human beings. This statement signifies that there is another Badari known as Uttara Badari or North Badari, which is not accessible to human beings. Sri Madhwaru later gets an invitation to visit North Badari from Sri Badarayanaru.

There is a hint in this stanza that Sri Madhwaru displayed many mystic and superhuman things on his way to Badari.

SUMMARY: Sri Madhwacharyaru submitted, as a memento, his Bhashya or commentary on Sri Bhagavadgita, to Sri Narayana, the Supreme Lord of infinite attributes, who was present there as a peak of adoration of the continent of Bharata.

It is mentioned in Bhagavata that Sri Narayana is the prime God of the continent of Bharata or India.

The submission of Gita Bhashya emphasizes a great tradition and culture that whenever one visits a temple, a holy shrine or meets Guru, master or an elderly person, he or she should not go empty handed. Something valuable should be submitted before saluting or exchanging pleasnatries.

Like in his incarnation as Lord Hanuman, he had taken the information about Seetha to Srirama, Sri Madhwacharyaru met Sri Badarayana with Gita Bhashya, giving a message to everyone that spirituality, culture and tradtion that signify the spreading of knowledge is most valuable.
