SUMMARY: That broad-minded Sri Poornaprajnaru thought of that Lord by attaining the state of Samadhi or Coma; he meditated on that Almighty, who envelopes the Earth, Space, Light or Radiation, Sky, Self-esteem or Pride or Vanity, Supreme Principles, the original solid nature, the sky beyond sky that encompasses the three traits of Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas, who is always untouchched by the discrimination of place or location, who is entirely different from demons or Asuras, the deities or the Suras and humans or Naras, who is the Lord of everything and adores infinite qualities.

This stanzas emphasises the significance of offering prayers during dusk. Sri Madhwacharyaru has shown to the world the importance of meditation after sunset by doing it himself.    

Sri Madhwacharyaru has also demonstrated that a devotee should invariably think of the Omnipotence, Omniscience and Omnipresence of the Lord, control all the senses, focus only on the Lord and his infinite qualities,

SUMMARY: The Bhoosuras or earthly deities or the disciples of Sri Madhwacharyaru, who practised strict adherence to the principles of payig obeisance given in Scriptures, who were well accomplished in righteous practices, began their evening obeisance with the Sun still shining in the sky by invoking Sri Hari, the Lord and creator of three universes, in the Sun and celebrated till the Stars started shining well in the Sky.

In this stanza, the rule that the evening obeisance should be begun when the Sunlight is still on and should be continued till the stars appear in the sky or till it is dark.

SUMMARY: The Agnihotri Brahmins, who were conversent with the Sixteen deities, including Rudra, Indra, who are addressed by differentiating between the irregular divisions of arts and who adore the Divine Fire at the origin as well as the end, performed the Agnihotra in the manner that suited them most by offering the Ghee in sumptuous quantity to the sacrificial fire. Such Agnihotra or the practice of worshipping Lord Hari thorugh Fire God leads one to the Loka of Lord Vishnu, whose name is Gayatra there.

The names of sixteen deities have been given in Shrutis.

SUMMARY: Like the lamps come out of lamps and clear the darkness in shops and houses and make the articles inside visible, Lord Sri Hari, who has the Golden Eagle Garuda as his vehicle, presents himself in all places in different forms and with different names, shows everything, without making anyone aware of his supreme greatness.

It is a known fact that the light is transferred from one lamp to another and with it the articles, items become visible. Sri Madhwacharyaru has explained this factor in his Bhagavata Tatparya Nirnaya as: “DeepAddeepAntaram yathA”(2/6/41- Bhagavata Tatparya NirNaya); further in the same work, Sri Madhwacharyaru states: “TEjasO rUpavadrUpam bahudhAkurutE Harihi”(1/1/1).

Sauparana refers to Sauparnee or the wife of Suvarna or Sauparnivara, which means Garuda, the divine Golden Eagle, the vehicle of Lord Vishnu. Varavahana means Lord Hari, who rides Garuda.

 SUMMARY: Like the rainbow acts as the reflection for Sun, all the three universes dazzle like the unparalleled reflection for Lord Sri Hari. By worshipping the TripaduddhAma Sri Hari of pleasant form, the caretaker of Prahlada, Sri Hari becomes visible everywhere and every day in one’s heart.

Now, there are two types of reflection, in general. In this stanza, the beings have been depicted as reflections of Lord Hari. The two types of reflection are known as SopAdhika and AnupAdhika. The SopAdhika or a reflection that has external alternatives refers to the reflection we find in the morror. It is clear that apart from the reflection we find in mirrors there are other means in which similar reflections can be experienced or seen like in water, oil and so on. Rainbow is said to be belonging to the AnupAdhika type of reflection, which means there are no parallels for rainbow. However, scientifically, it has been proved that apart from the soft showers that allow the sun’s rays pass through, appearing as a rainbow, there are other means like the tiny drops of water we come across in waterfalls or even large dams provide a similar medium for the rainbow to appear in the presence of Sunlight. The idea behind giving the example of rainbow is to show that the reflection of Hari in all beings is inexplicable, invisible and it can only be experienced with unassuming devotion.

The word TrikaduddhAma means three places where Lord Hari stays. They are Shwetadweepa or the milky cosmic ocean, AnantAsana or the mattress of serpent king Ananta or Sheshanaga and V Vaikuntha. In brief, Trikaduddhama means resident of three places. The word Trikaduddhama is mentioned in the Vishnusahasranama.

SUMMARY: The audiences were looking at the dazzling persona of Sri Madhwacharyaru without winking their eyes with utter bewilderment and likening him with Sri Vedavyasa, the son of Satyavati, and listening to the eloquent discourse the supreme scholar Sri Madhwacharyaru was rendering and enjoying every minute, even as they became totally unaware of the time that had elapsed.

Sri Madhwacharyaru was appearing like Lord Sri Vedavyasa when he was giving the discourse, sitting on the holy Vyasapeetha.

This stanza symbolically states that Sri Madhwacharyaru, an incarnation of Lord Vayu, is the only eligible person to interpret the holy scripts as he is the only person who knows the exact meaning of all scriptures.

He is the most beloved devotee of Lord Narayana.

SUMMARY: The Sun looks like rising even while setting with his pure shape and form, bliss and spreading the bright twilight of the evening; he was sinking with the same brightness as he appears in the morning during sunrise; for those sheltering under the divine grace of Lord Vishnu, who dazzle with the high radiation of their original form and for such persons, the wealth and misery do not make any impact.

In this stanza, with the example of the Sun, the fact that for the virtuous and righteous persons, the ebbs and tides of life of happiness and unhappiness, good and bad, wealth and poverty do not cause any effect.

SUMMARY: The precious pearl Padmaraga that sparkles with heaps of ruby red rays shed by the Sun had made the dame of Earth shine with the clothes she was wearing in the form of Oceans that were glowing with the brightness of the pearl Indraneelamani.

In this stanza, the Earth has been likened to a woman, the Sun to the pearl called Padmaraga and the Ocean to the clothes or dress or sari that Goddess Earth was wearing.

SUMMARY: Basically, there are five difference across beings in the universe namely difference between different beings; difference between different inanimate beings; difference between animate and inanimate; Almighty is entirely different from all animate and inanimate beings. A wise person is required to keep these differences in the mind at all places, keep thinking of the same and should aim at reaching the Vaikuntha, the Heaven at the earliest.

The ultimate truth is that these five differences are True and Eternal. Inculcating this eternal truth is the only path for attainment of salvation.

The five differences are: differences among different animate beings; differences among inanimate beings; differences between animate and inanimate beings. Differences between the Lord and animate beings and differences between the Lord and inanimate beings. In other words, broadly, there are three beings namely the Lord Almighty, the animate kingdom and the inanimate kingdom. The Principle of the Lord Almighty is the one and only phenomenon of unquestionable Eternity.  This is the ONLY definition of the Almighty and rest of all find their places among the second and third category of animate and inanimate beings, which include all other gods, goddesses and deities, to say the least. All gods and goddesses are susceptible to the inevitable end or extinction. Lord Brahma, Indra, Varuna, Agni and all other deities become extinct.

SUMMARY: Initially, there shall be two types of objects namely KShara and AkShara. In the Akshara category, only Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Narayana are there. In the Kshara category, nature, the Paradigm, Time, Brahma and other beings upto the grass is there. One should become aware of this difference or discrepancy in creation, should not divulge this truth to foolish people and keep thinking of this always.

The Principal of Creation is widely divided into two as KShara and AkShara. Kshara means anything and everything that gets destroyed or become extinct. Akshara means one that is infinite, eternal and indestructible. Therefore, only Lord Narayana and Goddess Lakshmi are in Akshara.

This difference between Kshara and Akashara should not be revealed to the fools or idiots means those who are not eligible to know this Principal Principle of Creation. This is the ultimate Truth.
