SUMMARY: Intent on rendering some service to Sri Madhwacharyaru, divine river Ganga cleaved into a chasm, broke the earth and gushed near him; when Sri Bharati Devi, who is revered and saluted by Shiva and other dieties, too indends to serve Sri Madhwacharyaru and feel honored, is it so surprising that Ganga rushed towards him in this manner?

The expression “ShAKhAvishEShENa” has been interpreted in Sri Chalari VyAKhyAna as follows:

“MaDhwADhiShThitamaThasameepE kasyachit vrukShavishEShasya shAKhAvishEShENa upalakShitAm|”

“मध्वाधिष्ठितमठसमीपॆ कस्यचित् वृक्षविशॆषस्य शाखाविशॆषॆण उपलक्षिताम्॥

“Ganga manifested through a branch of a tree” and her presence could be felt from a little change in the warmth of the water.

The details pertaining to Sri Bharati Devi serving the feet of Lord Vayu are mentioned in Sri Vayustuti by Sri Trivikramapanditacharyaru:

SUMMARY: That Bhageerati physically manifested in front of Sri Madhwacharyaru and saluted him from a little distance. The disciples, who saw her, an embodiment of modesty and undescribable charm, were highly bewildered.

Since the Ganga descended due to the arduous penance of King Bhageeratha, she came to be known as Bhageerathi.

Having flown for a long distance as a stream of Ganga, the goddess appeared in person in front of Sri Madhwacharyaru. The reverence and devotion that the disciples had for Sri Madhwaru was enhanced several times after seeing the most beautiful female form of Bhageerathi. The description of Ganga by Shantanu mentioned in in Mahabharata Tatparya NirNaya is quite pertinent to recall: “RUpam suravarastreeNAm tava” — “रूपं सुरवरस्तीणां तव।”

Once, Balarama had gone to Vrindavan and beckoned Yamuna to come to him. But, Yamuna disobeyed him. Enraged by her attitude, Balarama took his Yoke to pull her. Frightened by the wrath of Balarama, Yamuna hurriendly ran to him. This information find mention in Bhagavata and Mahabharata. However, in this context, Ganga first came to Ananta Sarovar in Udupi after Sri Madhwaru returned from Kashi. For the second time, Ganga came to him voluntarily, without a semblance of request by Sri Madhwaru, which symbolically indicates that Lord Vayu is above Sri Shesha Devaru (Balarama) in rank and file.

SUMMARY: Later, once he, destroyer of sins, went to Kashi. When he was on an excursion, he saw some of his strong disciples were proud and needed to be taught a lesson. Therefore, he told them.

This incident relates to the second sojourn of Sri Madhwaru to Badari, when, on his way, he was staying in Kashi, along with his disciples. At that time, Sri Madhwaru was about 50 years of age and naturally, the average age of his disciples was around 30 years. Because of the youthful exhuberance and spirit, some of the well-built disciples were thinking that they were stronger than their Guru. Sri Madhwaru must have heard or perceived the whispers among the disciples. Hence, Sri Madhwaru wanted to display his valor. This incident also indicates the forethought and sensibility of Sri Madhwaru.

What Sri Madhwaru told his disciples and what happened later will be described in the next episode.
