SUMMARY: Deceitful fox and proponent of Mayavada named Pundareekapuri, who had earlier been honored by people as Shardula or Tiger, ended up being a titular tiger after aiming to confront the Lion that could vanquish all the so-called Tigers of Mysticism, Sri Madhwacharyaru.

Before facing Sri Madhwacharyaru, Pundareekapuri was being hailed as the Tiger of Mayavada as none could win over him. He was well versed in Mayavada or Mysticism. However, he fell precariously short of putting up any sort of argument in front of Sri Madhwacharyaru, the Lion of Dwaita Siddhanta and therefore Pundareekapuri, who was earlier called as “Panditashardula” became “MayigOmAyu”, a names-sake Tiger or a mere fox.

SUMMARY: With his Shree (Draupadi Devi), who was the subject of love for Sri Vedavyasa, in the form of his philosophical works, having been abducted by the evil-minded Saindhava by name “Padmatirtha”, Arjuna-like supreme scholar Sri Anandatirtharu came to know about it.  

The incident of Jayadratha abducting Draupadi, who was under the protection of Dhaumya, is mentioned in Mahabharata. Arjuna came to know about the abduction, chases Jayadratha, punishes him and gets back Draupadi. In this stanza, it is said that Pundareekapuri stole the works of Sri Madhwacharyaru with the hope of reading all of them and defeating Sri Madhwaru in the debate. It is like someone stealing away the Hindu Calendar Panchanga with an intention of controlling the movement of Sun and other planets. Stealing the books or studying the books alone cannot empower a person with the kind of knowledge that could confront Lion like Sri Madhwaru, is what is stated in this stanza.

KrishNABheeShTA means a beloved of Sri Krishna or Krishne, which refers to Draupadi. It was Sri Krishna who saved her honor and respect from the hands of Duryodhana and Dushshasana when the duo try to ill treat her.

Pundareekapuri is also known as “LikuchaShankara” as he had proclaimed himself as the exponent of Mayavada.
