SUMMARY: “Oh Lord of the Universe Sri Shesha! What are the benefits of reciting/meditating the Shastras of the most revered Sri Poornaprajnaru again and again, even as they are being valued and respected very highly by the most pleasant Gods like you?

Sages Sanaka and other Munis are merely expressing bewilderment over the fact that Gods of the rank and status of Lord Shesha are keenly listening to the Shastras of Sri Madhwacharyaru and respecting them highly. They are enquiring with Lord Shesha about the benefits of reading, listening to and meditating the Shastras of Sri Madhwacharyaru again and again. This does not mean that Sage Sanaka and others were unaware of the benefits. They are asking this question to let the virtuous and spirituous people know the benefits of meditating Sri Madhwashastra.

जानन्तॊsपि विशॆषार्थज्ञानाय स्थापनाय च।

This is the way knowledgeable persons, despite being fully aware of everything ask questions as though they want to improve their knowledge. Indirectly, they want to make common people also know the significance of special knowledge. Sanakadi Munis questioned Sri Adi Shesha with this intention.

The word “LOkapatE” indicates, symbolically, that thousand-hooded Lord Adi Shesha is holding the Saptasagaras or Seven Seas, the respective islands and the mansions in those islands. This stanza is especially significant since Lord Shesha himself has explained the benefits of acquiring Sri Madhwashastra.

इति तत्फलं सफलसन्कथनॊ भगवान् प्रपन्चयतु भूरिदयः॥४॥

SUMMARY: For those aware of the benefits of listening to the Shastras, a natural flair for the Shastra occurs, naturally. Therefore, you may kindly elaborate the benefits of Sri Madhwashastra as you can explain them in greater detail to be understood well. You are most revered and kind.

Power, benefits and complete knowledge of the subject matter being dealt with are the most prominent tools of acquiring comprehensive benefits of Shastras. The significance of Sri Sanakadis questioning on the benefits of Sri Madhwashastra in the backdrop of this reasoning will affirm the importance of the question. Moreover, Lord Shesha is the Prime Commentator and his commentary on Sri Madhwashastra can be hardly exaggerated.

SUMMARY: The most knowledgeable Lord Shesha replied to them (Sanakadis): “Listen with fervent interest the benefits of the Shastras spelt by the most respected Sri Madhwacharyaru”
