ಶ್ರೀ #ಮಧ್ವವಿಜಯ – ನವಮ ಸರ್ಗ 40 ಮತ್ತು 41ನೇ ಶ್ಲೋಕಗಳ ಅರ್ಥವಿವರಣೆ (55) - A

There are quite a few references for the consecration of an idol of Sri Krishna at Udupi by Sri Madhwaru. A few of them are being submitted for the knowledge of the knowledgeable readers.  

Sri Vadirajaru states in his Teerthaprabandha:

SUMMARY: Lord Sri Krishna left his pompous and glorious royal abode in Dwaraka, sacrificed the worship that the Gopikas were devoutly offering him every day and crossed the Ocean, which was the maternal home of his beloved wife Rama Devi, only to reach his most beloved devotee Sri Madhwacharyaru, who was then present in Rajatapeethapura or the present Udupi. Thus, Udupi has a special spiritual significance.

रूप्यात्मकस्य भवतस्तुलनां न भॆजुः क्षॆत्राणि भारतमहीरचितान्यमूनि।

ईशाचलं च जयसीश्वरमात्रवासं श्रीमध्वहस्तकमलार्चितकृष्णमूर्त्या॥१०॥

SUMMARY: Oh renowned Rupyapeethapura, none of the innumerable holy places across India, which are shining like silver, have been able to match you; due to the presence of the idol of Lord Krishna, which has been worshipped by the lotus hands of Sri Madhwacharyaru, you have set aside the greatness of Mount Kailas, which is the holy abode of Lord Rudra.

Several years ago, a Kshatriya king called Ramabhoja was plowing a piece of land in the present day Udupi with a yoke. At that time, a king cobra came under the yoke and died suddenly. The king was highly worried as he thought that he had committed a serious crime by killing the cobra. Lord Parashurama then consoled the king by stating that the cobra that had died was in fact a demon, who was roaming about there in the form of a serpent and therefore there was no need for the king to be worried. The king was not fully satisfied with the explanation. As suggested by Lord Parashurama, the king got four silver Peethas or divine seats, installed them in four directions and consecrated four idols of serpent on each Peetha and worshipped them. Lord Parashurama later told that at the end of Yuga, he would himself manifest there and that the place be known as Rajatapeethapura, where Rajata means silver and Peetha is the spiritual seat.

यत्रास्ति निर्मथ्यॊग्रभवार्णवॆ निजमनॊsभीष्टं दिशामिति यः

SUMMARY: May Lord Sri Krishna, who is beholding in one hand a churner that viciously churns and eradicates the misfortune of all his devotees and is having a rope in another hand a rope to be used in the churning, who is the emblem of honor and adoration to Shivalli, a village where Lord Eshwara is living, and that Lord Krishna who acts like a servant with his devotees, be pleased with my prayers.

Lord Krishna consecrated by Sri Madhwacharyaru in Udupi is having a churner in his right hand and a rope that is used in churning in his left hand. The Churning by Lord Krishna is compared to the Churning of Karmas and the resultant butter is bestowing of boons by the Lord, who is always ready to relieve his devotees from all sorts of misfortune and hardships. With the arrival of Lord Krishna at Udupi, the silver lining and the shine that Kailas Parvat held due to the presence of Lord Eshwara there, has shifted to Udupi, says Sri Vadirajaru in this stanza.
