SUMMARY: With Sri Madhwacharyaru moving in high speed on that difficult terrain of rocks that were lying at long distances with utmost ease, Sri Satyatirtharu, who was following him from behind, could not reach Sri Madhwaru even as the time was nearing the dusk.

The swift movement of Sri Madhwaru has been described very beautifully in this stanza. Normal human beings like Sri Satyatirtharu could not match Sri Madhwaru while walking. The dedication and reverence of Sri Satyatirtharu for his Guru Sri Madhwacharyaru has also been wonderfully described in this stanza.

SUMMARY: The mind of Sri Satyatirtharu was already frightened; Sri Madhwacharyaru once turned back and by moving his hand, he asked Sri Satyatirtharu to return; motivated well by that symbolic message, Sri Satyatirtharu, in his return journey, covered the entire distance he had walked through till evening within a moment and reached Sri Ananthamatha.

The symbolic indication of Sri Madhwaru was enough to empower Sri Satyatirtharu to fully recover and tread back to Sri Ananthamatha. It indicates the divine power of Sri Madhwaru.

“Muhurta” means two Ghaliges or 48 minutes in the modern chronology.

SUMMARY: On seeing his fellow disciples in Ananthamatha, Sri Satyatirtharu

explained to them the divine grace he had received from Sri Madhwaru, the astonishing speed with which Sri Madhwaru easily leaped over the rocks and moved away; he kept remembering Sri Madhwaru along with his fellow disciples.

It is said that there is a work titled “Madhwavilasa” which is attributed to the authorship of Satyatirtharu.
