SUMMARY: Anyone writing a single letter mentioned in the Bhashya or the commentary written by Sri Madhwa on Brahmasutra will be as special as anyone who would construct a spectacular temple of Sri Hari at a place where the waves of Ganga constantly breaks on her shores. Sri Satya Tirtharu wrote that special work of Sri Madhwacharyaru, namely Brahmasutra Bhashya.

This stanza amply proves that Sri Brahmasutra Bhashya is one of the most valuable works ever. Writing or even reciting a single letter or syllable from Sri Brahmasutra Bhashya of Sri Madhwaru attracts huge benefits. Such being the case, what great soul it is of Sri Satya Tirtharu, who has taken note of the entire Brahma Sutra Bhashya. What praise would it suffice to say anything about the great soul of Sri Satya Tirtharu, who has taken down the entire Brahma Sutra Bhashya written by Sri Madhwaru?

The greatness of Satya Tirtharu can be conceived better by understanding the following stanza in Uttarakanda of Skanda Purana:

SreematsubrahmasUtrANAm BhAShyam chakrE param Tataha|

SreemadgangAtaTE ViShNum sThAyEdyO narOttamaha|

YadakSharam … narastatsamO BhavEt||

श्रीमत्सुब्रह्मसूत्राणां भाष्यं चक्रॆ परं ततः।

श्रीमद्गन्गातटॆ विष्णुं स्थापयॆद्यॊ नरॊत्तमः।

यदक्षरं ...नरस्तत्समॊ भवॆत्॥श्कन्दपुराणः (उत्तरकान्ड)॥

Sri Satya Tirtharu had followed Sri Madhwaru on his journey to Uttara Badari to whatever extent he could and the grace and blessings of Sri Madhwaru for Satya Tirtharu needs no further exaggeration than the good fortune of writing down the entire Brahmasutra Bhashya that was dictated, probably, by Sri Madhwaru.

Sri Satya Tirtharu can be compared to Lord Ganesha, who had taken down Sri Mahabharata recited by Lord Sri Vedavyasaru, as it was he (Sri Satya Tirtharu) who had the good fortune of taking down the Brahmasutra Bhashya recited by Sri Madhwaru, who is known as Abhinava Vedavyasaru or Sri Vedavyasaru of the modern world.

SUMMARY: Saluting Sri Narayna of Uttara Badari in his mind, honoring the instructions of Sri Narayana, Sri Purnaprajnaru swiftly crossed several places, along with his disciples, and arrived at the banks of Godavari River.

It has been stated in Skanda Purana, Varaha Purana and other Puranas (epics), as cited in Sutra Bhashya, that Sri Hari incarnated as Sri Vedavyasaru, as requested by gods and goddesses, since, as per a curse given by Sage Gautama, who had brought Godavari River to the earth, spirituality and spiritual knowledge had disappeared from the earth. The knowledge of all Rishis and Munis had dissipated owing to the curse handed out by Gautama. Godavari River was known as Gautamee since she had been brought to Earth by Sage Gautama. It is to the credit of Sri Madhwaru that he pronounced his Brahmasutra Bhashya on the banks of Godavari, where the curse of Gautama had been pronounced, for the first time, to give a new impetus for the spread of right knowledge, spirituality and real truth.

It is said that a cave at Basar on the banks of Godavari was where Sri Vedavyasaru had earlier lived for some time and even today, the divine spirit of Sri Vedavyasaru is present in that cave even today. At Basar, Godavari River journeys northwords and after flowing in a straight line, she starts flowing eastwords. It is supposed that Sri Madhwaru must have pronounced Brahmasutra Bhashya in this place. Basar is also known as Saraswati Kshetra.
