SUMMARY: Later, Sri Madhwacharyaru went to Kurukshetra, which is popularly believed to be the path for heavens for kings. There, he was astonished to see prospective Mareecha and also the mace he (Sri Madhwaru) was carrying during his incarnation as Bheemasena. He was very much happy after seeing that mace and remembered, along with Satyatirtha and other disciples, the exciting moments of the war in which several tuskers were dying.

This happens to be one such occasion when Sri Madhwacharyaru remembered his previous incarnations as Hanumantha and Bheemasena. This stanza also provides evidence to the popular notion that Sri Madhwaru was one of the three incarnations of Lord Vayu.

It is mentioned in Bhavaprakashike that Sri Madhwaru saw a fake saint, who was caliming that he was doing deep penance. Sri Madhwaru introduced that fake saint to his disciples and told them that the fake saint would be born as Mareecha in the next epoch (Kalpa).

The disciples were thrilled by realizing the depth of knowledge of Sri Madhwaru about past, present and future (Trikala Jnana). Later, the disciples appealed to Sri Madhwaru to show the mace he had used during his Bheema incarnation. Sri Madhwaru showed a place to the disciples and asked them to dig there. Later, the disciples were bewildered to see a huge mace there.

Scholars are of the view that the mace shown by Sri Madhwaru to his disciples need not be likened to the mace Bheemasena had used during his fight against Duryodhana since the real mace of Bheemasena is unbreachable, unimaginable and inaccessible. The mace shown by Sri Madhwaru might have been one of the maces Bheemasena had used momentarily. The Mace Bheemasena used during his fight with Jarasandha was the one Jarasandha had provided him with.  

Another surprising fact revealed by Sri Madhwaru at that time has been mentioned in one of the versions of Bhavaprakashike (This has been mentioned in translation of Sri Sumadhwavijaya into Kannada by Dr. Sri Vyasanakere Prabhanjanacharyaru, page 375-376).

Sri Madhwacharyaru told Sri Satyatirtharu: “You were also a king then and had participated in the war”. Sri Madhwaru also showed to Sri Satyatirtharu a weapon the latter had used in the war.

This stanza also amply proves that Sri Madhwaru had complete memory of his previous incarnations, the knowledge of the forms of people around him, affection towards his disciples and several other mysterious qualities. The excavation he did through his disciples is perhaps an unparalleled gift to the modern community. He was an accomplished scholar of all Shastras.
