SUMMARY: The cluster of clouds of king and subjects, due to the influence of Karteek Maas called Jayasihma, shunned and shed away the otherwise unexciting pollution; with the Sun of Madhwacharya, who was the most distinguished in spirit and vibrant, rising for the emancipation of the virtuous and righteous, everything transformed into highly charming and enchanting.

This incident refers to King Jayasihma becoming a disciple of Sri Madhwacharyaru that rendered the whole atmosphere to be highly pleasurable and pleasant. In addition, after King Jayasihma became a disciple of Sri Madhwaru, the citizens of two villages, who were till then opposing the philosophy of Sri Madhwaru, became more conducive, cooperative and supporting.

Oorja means Karteek Maas. MalinabhAva means pollution of the mind. Vishwam also means all deeds and universe.

It is natural that once the Head of the State or the King becomes a disciple, the people just follow or fall in line. Hence, the general public, who were opposing the philosophy of Sri Madhwaru earlier, started following the king or Sri Madhwaru.

The two villages in this context means the subject and the main pillar. In other words, the King and the subjects.

SUMMARY:  As requested in a pacifying voice by King Jayasihma and other cultural leaders by stating “being the most revered, kind-hearted, pardoning, kindly excuse us”, as ordered by Sri Poornaprajna, Shankara Pandit, Padmatirtha and other rivals, who had cunningly stolen the heaps of Holy Texts, returned them.

Sri Madhwacharyaru had made up his mind to recover all the stolen books through the King and recovered the books in the same way. This decision of Sri Madhwaru to recover the books through the King or in the presence of the King has been explained in the previous Sarga or Canto in the first stanza.

The Mayavadis had cheated the then Library in-charge Shankar Pandit and stolen the books. The king punished the culprits and at the behest of Sri Madhwacharyaru, the king got those books returned to Shankar Pandit, who accepted them too.

Sri Shankara Pandit was also an established scholar and an author. His works titled “AnuvyAkhyAnadeepika” and “NyAyavivaranasambandhideepika” are said to be still available.

“Mantrataha” means “Kumantra” or black magic chants.

SUMMARY: Trivikramapanditacharyaru, an iconic poet, was very happy over the victory of his brother Shankara Pandit; he made King Jayasihma very happy with his blessings while the King was politely sitting in the divine presence of Sri Poornaprajnaru, surrounded by polite village heads, villagers, Brahmins and other people.

The word “Sahajavijayaha” makes it clear that the stealing of books by Padmatirtha and others had pained Trivikrama and the conclusion of the incident in a glorious manner created a sense of victory in his mind.

The next stanza is the blessing that Trivikrama Pandit bestowed upon King Jayasihma, which has been elaborated in Bhavaprakashika.

SUMMARY: Oh pure-hearted king Jayasihma! May the holy dust emanating from under the feet of great Sri Madhwacharyaru, which is capable of providing the throne of Lord Indra with certainty and in abundance, which cannot be dreamt by ill-fated people, provide you with eternal intrinsic bliss.

Trivikramapandit is telling in this stanza that for eligible beings, the dust from under the feet of Sri Madhwacharyaru, if worn on the head, can bless one with the throne or the honour of ascending the throne of Lord Indra, which is not accessible to ordinary people. Here, two things are striking. The throne of Indra is not accessible and the dust from under the feet of Sri Madhwa is also not accessible to ill-fated or unfortunate people.

SUMMARY: For those worshipping the Lord as Nirguna (without any quality/ies), the Lord, who is an ocean of kindness (Krupasandra), bestows heavenly comfort through Moksha and protects such devotee, without considering or ignoring the defects or sins of such a person; for TraividyAs, Lord Sri Hari, who is beyond the three qualities, remains far fetched and makes such persons hop around from heaven, earth and hell, eternally.

The word Nirguna does not mean lacking Gunas or qualities. There are three broad qualities or characters that all beings possess in different combinations. The three qualities are: Satwa, Rajas and Tamas. Lord Hari is free from these three traits. Any devotee who worships Lord Hari with this knowledge i.e. the Lord is not tainted with three traits or combinations thereof, the Lord relieves such devotees from the clutches of birth-death syndrome and relieves such beings from the bondage of family life. In other words, Sri Hari provides such devotees with the ultimate salvation or Moksha or Mukti. However, the contention of another school of thought that Nirguna means the Lord is bereft of all qualities like knowledge and happiness is untenable, invalid and flawed.

Traividyas means people who go by verbal or outwardly meaning of Vedas, consider or treat Lord Hari as just a superior person, perform sacrifices and other rituals with the sole intention of attaining heavenly abode, which is not possible. Such devotees may spend some term or tenure in the heavens but they can never reach the eternal bliss or salvation. Their journey from heaven to earth to hell continues for ever.

This subtle truth has been explained by Lord Krishna in The Gita.               

398.     ಮೂವರೊಳಗಿರ್ದರು ಸರಿಯೆ ಸುಖ-

            ನೋವುಗಳ ಸಂಬಂಧವಾಗವು

SUMMARY: Even though the Lord is present within the three types of beings, he is untouched, unaffected by happiness or sorrow that the beings are continuously subjected to. He is the holiest of the holy; divinest of the divine and superior than the super-most. He is the ocean of complete happiness. Converting himself into the form of all the beings, in accordance with their past deeds, the Supreme Lord Sri Hari preserves and protects the universe of animate and inanimate beings.

Lord Hari eternally exists in Satwik, Rajas and Tamas types of beings but he is totally unaffected by whatever happens to those beings because of these qualities, the deeds and thoughts emanating from such qualities, the ebbs and tides of life.

ParAvarESha means both ParAvara and Eesha where Para refers to Rudra and other deities, deities superior than Rudra like Lord Brahma and others, who are less than or lower than Sri Hari in status and in every way and that is why Sri Hari is called as ParAvarEsha.

Sri Madhwacharyaru has explained this in his Brahmasutra Bhashya (1/4/3).  

399.      ನಿಮಿತ್ತ ನಿರಂತರ ಸ್ವಾ-

ಧೀನಕರ್ತೃತ್ವವನು ಮರೆದೇ-

ನೇನು ಮಾಡುವದೆಲ್ಲ ಹರಿ ಒಳಹೊರಗೆ ನೆಲೆಸಿರ್ದು|

ಮಾನವಂದಿತ ಒಂದರೆಕ್ಷಣ ಬಿಟ್ಟಗಲ ನಿನ್ನ||20||

nEnu mADuvadella Hari oLahorage nelesirdu|

TAne mADuvanendaridu ma-

ddAneyandadi sancharisu pada-

mAnavandita vondarekShaNa biTTagala ninna||20||

SUMMARY: Therefore, roam about like a proud, haughty, snooty Tusker by not thinking that ‘I am forever free to do anything and everything’ and by thinking that ‘whatever I do is done by Sri Hari, who is within me and outside me too’; then, Lord Sri Hari, who is worshipped by Lord Vayu, will not go away from you for even a moment.

Once the realisation occurs in human mind that ‘Naaham kartA, Harih kartA’, or ‘I do not do anything and everything is done by Sri Hari’, a sense of fearlessness emboldens the being to walk freely like a wild Tusker roams about without any fear or fervour in the wildest of woods. Sri Hari will bestow special grace upon such beings for all times.

SUMMARY: Sri Trivikramapanditacharya argued and delved with Sri Poornaprajnacharyaru and got fully convinced that his (Sri Poornaprajnacharya’s) philosophy was the correct; however, he did not immediately accept that philosophy; Is isn’t it the quality of an intelligent person to fully analyse a think before accepting it?  

After delving deep into the philosophical works of Sri Madhwacharyaru, Trivikramapanditacharya had developed a deep appreciation, excitement and interest in the line of reasoning that Sri Madhwaru had elaborately explained in those works. Even while discussing with Sri Madhwaru and getting clarifications for all his doubts, Trivikramapanditacharyaru was convinced that the points Sri Madhwaru had categorically averred in his works were the ultimate points, beyond questioning. Yet, the Mayavadis, who had prompted Trivikramapanditacharya to indulge in the debate, were around him and he did not want to surrender meekly. He also wanted to recheck points that Sri Madhwaru had put forth during the argument with whatever knowledge Trivikramapanditacharyaru had acquired by studying the Master’s works. Therefore, he pondered over the entire subject, philosophy before prostrating before Sri Madhwaru.

SUMMARY: Like Devendra, who wanted to learn the philosophy from the face of four-faced Lord Brahma that always shines with the pleasant smile and gives pleasure, goes to him and salutes, Trivikramapanditacharyaru met Sripoornaprajnaru, who shines with his charming face and the pleasing smile and gives pleasure to everyone, in Vishnumangala and saluted him.  

The respectful submission of Trivikramapanditacharya is not in any way termed as defeat. It was a realisation of the reality and hence his submission to Sri Madhwaru is being compared here to Lord Indra going to Lord Brahma. More so, Indra did not go to Brahma to argue but to learn the secrets of devotion, truth and so on. Similarly, the argument between Trivikramapanditacharyaru and Sri Madhwaru is not to be termed as an argument but a discussion and Trivikramapanditacharya also “learnt” from Sri Madhwaru the “Real Truth”.

SUMMARY: Being present in all the beings in this Brahmanda, the wholly scientific Hari transacts in them without becoming known to them. Anyone not knowing this fact and assuming that “I only do everything” will get into low vagina. Only the one who thinks that “Sri Hari alone is doer of everything” will secure Moksha or salvation.

Thinking and believing that Sri Hari alone does everything is the ultimate truth and on the contrary, if one thinks that the self alone does everything will get into the cycles of birth and death. The gist is the confirmed belief in “NAham kartA Harihi KartA” gospel.

NaLinajAnDa means the Universe or Brahmanda.

394.     ಕಲಿಮಲಾಪಹಳೆನಿಸುತಿಹ ಬಾಂ-

SUMMARY: Do the Aquatic animals roaming about and living in the heavenly river Ganga, who is known to clear the ill-effects of Kaliyuga, know the greatness of this holy or divine waters? In the same way, the learned Gods Brahma, Vayu, Garuda, Shiva and other deities, who have gained knowledgeable due to sheer grace of Lord Hari, cannot know the purest qualities of the Infinite or the supreme Lord.

SUMMARY: Sri Narayana, husband of Sri Lakshmi, stays in lotus of Heart and mystifies and  lures the spiritual community. Making such human beings bundled in three qualities of Sattwa and others and makes them indulge in big deeds (Karma). Moreover, rendering them unaware of his celestial acts, he makes them to continuously revolve like the wheel of a Potter in the wheel of family or worldly life.

Keelala means water and Keelalaja means Jala or water and hence Keelalaja means the water-bound Lotus. “Kulala” means potter, who uses a wheel to create pots.   

396.     ವೇದಶಾಸ್ತ್ರವಿಚಾರಗೈದು ನಿ-

SUMMARY: For those pondering over the Science of Vedas and shedding sinful acts, Lord Krishna will provide Heaven and other comforts of life. He drives the sinners into hell. For human beings, he grants both happiness as well as distress and also creates confusion about the happiness and distress as well. He makes the pretentious or those indulging in nonsensical argument over Vedic literature remain in Andhantamas or Ajnana or knowledgelessness.
