SUMMARY: Later, the supreme eloquent and an exponent of the knowledge of all Vedas,  Sri Madhwacharyaru, the most dedicated devotee of Narayana, who was always praying and remembering the Lord of all Lokas, the preserver of the entire Universe Lord Krishna to impress upon him, consumed the high-quality Paramanna, which he got effortlessly there.

This stanza symbolically exphasises the manner in which one should consume the food. Everyone should first submit the food to the Lord and then consume it as the Prasada or the holy food the Lord has provided him or her with all kindness and grace.

“AprayAsam” or “effortlessly” means “the food one desires and deserves” and Paramaanna means the food that becomes sacred or holy as it has been first submitted to the lord. Commonly, Paramanna means Payasa, a sweet dish.

This has been mentioned in Bhavaprakashika as well as in Sadacharasmruti of Sri Madhwacharyaru.

SUMMARY: Sitting on the noble seat (Peetha) that had been covered with a soft clothe by the disciples, adoring the great meeting hall, Sri Madhwacharyaru made the scholars who had assembled there in a large number with vivid, pleasant, informative and educative yet entertaining facts of spiritual knowledge.

Even after having food, Sri Madhwacharyaru spent his time amidst scholars and disciples, spreading the spiritual knowledge, which should be emulated. He sets an example to the way a saint philosopher should spend his day.

“Avitanuruha” means woollen – Avi means sheep and Tanuruha means hair. Ausheera means Aasana or the Seat.
