SUMMARY: Having patiently heard special significance of the word “uchyatAm” spelt by Paramapurusha Sri Narayana present in the idol of worship, Sri Madhwacharyaru perceived the opinion of the Lord, stood up and rendered another discourse on the book for his disciples.

This is said to indicate that the Lord will be absolutely impressed if discourses in front of distinguished disciples are repeated.

SUMMARY: Due to cold conditions, people refrain from even touching water. The water in Alakananda River, which was more popular as the cool Ganga (Sheetalaganga), was especially cold and in that water, Sri Madhwacharyaru used to take bath in the early hours of sunrise  every morning. After all he is the incarnation of Lord Mukhyaprana!

The bath taken at sunrise is known as Avagaha Snana. Sri Madhwacharyaru was a Riju and Avagaha Snana can only be had by Rijus.
