SUMMARY: Sri Vedavyasaru felt that in the entire universe, Madhwacharyaru alone was the most capable person and assigned him the duty of writing the most appropriate summary of Mahabharata in the clearest way possible. The intent of Sri Vedavyasaru was to popularize the philosophy of Paratattwa.

It may be recalled that in the first meeting with Sri Vedavyasaru had mandated Sri Madhwaru to write Commentary or Bhashya for Brahma Sutras. In the second visit to Badari, Sri Madhwaru was asked by Sri Vedavyasaru to write Tatparya Nirnaya of Mahabharata. “Tatparya” means summary and “Nirnaya” means verdict. In a nutshell, Sri Madhwaru was asked to write the final verdict on the gist of Mahabharata.

It is pertinent here to state that in Ramayana as well as Mahabharata, there are quite a few ambiguous, paradoxical, confusing and apprehensive instances that need a relook. Karna is perhaps the best example. His actions and reactions, his unshakable loyalty to Duryodhana, and his behavior during the attempt to rape Draupadi and so on project Karna as a person with dual personality. Kaikeyi in Ramayana is another similar character that demands conclusive explanation for her split personality.

SUMMARY: Sri Madhwacharyaru, who was the greatest among those having the knowledge of pilgrim places, went on visiting all the holy places, saluted Lord Sri Hari in every such place he visited, had bath in holy waters and once again reached the Ganga of high tides.

He had crossed Ganga River on his way to Badari and once again arrived on the banks of Ganga to return to Udupi.

The word “TeerThEShu” indicates the six Prayagas and Kshetra indicates Hrishikesha, Haridwara and other similar pilgrim places.

Sri Madhwaru has set an example here for others to undertake pilgrimage.

SUMMARY: Worried about the absence of any boat to cross the river and the Sun treading towards the Sea to sink, the pupils were sitting with pale and gloomy faces; Sri Madhwaru saw them and crossed the river with ease.

The stanza indicates that Sri Madhwas leaped across the river in one jump, which is not surprising as he is an incarnation of Lord Vayu. In Tretayuga, he had easily crossed the ocean to reach Lanka and returned, unhurt and untired.

On the previous occasion, Sri Madhwaru had taken his pupils across the river. This time, he crossed the river alone. Pupils followed him later.

The pupils were worried for two reasons. Firstly, there were no boats to cross the river. Secondly, the dusk was imminent.

The clothes that Sri Madhwaru was wearing while crossing the river had not got wet. This indicates that he had displayed JalastamBhanarUpayOga. This is one among the sixty four skills. By invoking this skill, Sri Madhwaru had transformed the water surface into a sheet and walked across. This incident has been described in Anumadhwavijaya:

Sri Madhwaru describes Jalasthambhana, Agnisthambhana and other skills in his Sreemadbhavatatatparya and Tantrasarasangra||

प्लवरहितां गन्गां दृष्ट्वा सायन्कालॆ जातॆ सति ’इतः परं किं कुर्मः’ इति विषादं प्राप्य तीरॆ उप्विशतान् शिष्यान् दृश्ट्वा स्वयं ऎक ऎव जलस्तम्भनं कृत्वा अनार्द्रवासाःसन् गन्गाम् लन्घितवानिति भावः। जलस्तम्भनं तु वारिसम्स्तम्भयॊगादि आणुपध्वविजयॊक्तं ज्ञॆयम्।
