SUMMARY (1): Having been requested and saluted by Sanaka and others, beloved of the righteous Sri Narayana incarnated as RuShaBha (bull) and shone with purest philosophy; he assumed the sainthood of the highest order and travelled across the universe.

SUMMARY (2): Having been requested and saluted by Sanaka and other sages, beloved of righteous, master of the universe and the prophet of pure philosophy Sri Narayana wore the form of Divine Swan (Hamsa) with pure white wings and roamed about (Hamsa Avatara).

In Rishabh or Bull Avatar, Sri Narayana set the principles of Avadhuta Charya or the type of life to be adopted by Avadhutas. An Avadhuta means an unsullied or blemishless person, who discards worldly life and purifies his heart and mind for meditation. Literally, Avadhuta means saintly person. Normally, Avadhuta is associated with rugged, unscrupulous life pattern.

The incarnation of Hamsa Rupa or the form of White Swan is primarily and prominently meant to preach pure philosophy. In his incarnation as Hamsa or White Swan, Sri Hari sets the norms and standards for the prophets who preach philosophy and related subjects to people.

Rushabha is the name of a king:

Non-dualistic thoughts about the duality of emotions, material and deeds/

ಭಾವಾದ್ವೈತ, ದ್ರವ್ಯಾದ್ವೈತ ಮತ್ತು ಕ್ರಿಯಾದ್ವೈತಗಳಿಂಬ ಅದ್ವೈತತ್ರಯಗಳ ಚಿಂತನೆ

SUMMARY:  Non-duality of emotions, material and action, the three types of non-duality, should be pondered over continuously with devotion and dedication, everywhere. Like Sri Hari submitted himself to Gajendra (to save the tusker from the deadly clutches of crocodile), he will sacrifice his own self to anyone offering prayers to him with the conviction that “I am yours”, every day.

Like the thin threads form the cloth, the physique is formed from the five elements. Cause and consequences are not totally independent from each other. Still, the five elements are separate and independent entities. If one realizes that this unity in diversity or the single entity of physical form and the five independent elements are dependent on the Lord, it is called non-duality of emotion or Bhava Advait.

भद्र कार्यकारणवस्त्वैक्यदर्शनं पटतन्तुवत्।

Since all the actions originating from the mind, speech and circumstances are expressed from Sri Hari, who is seen as an image, and that he alone is independent. The human should think that all his actions are in the sole, unquestionable and inescapable control of Sri Hari. This submission is known as non-duality of action or Kriyaadvaita.

यद्ब्र्ह्मणि परॆ साक्षात् सर्वकर्मसमर्पणम्।

मनॊवातनुभिः पार्थ क्रियाद्वैतम् तदुच्यतॆ॥

The material gains or happiness that come along with relatives, wife, children and others is believed to be attached, compassionate and beloved to the self. When one thinks or realizes that all other beings around have same access to similar material happiness and that happiness in the universe is nothing but the grace of Sri Hari and thereby enjoys solemn balance of mind, it is called the non-duality of materialistic happiness. This is explained in the following Shloka:

AatmajAyAsutAdeenAmanyEShAm sarvadEhinAm|

YatswArThakAmayOraikyam dravyAdwaitam taduchyatE||

The principle or the principal philosophy of treating life or soul or Atma and the Almighty or the Paramatma as one and the same is the primary contention of Advaita or non-duality, which is unethical and inappropriate. The three non-duality conception such as emotional non-duality, action non-duality and non-duality of material happiness as explained above is sensible and sustainable. Attributing non-duality among different incarnations and forms of Sri Hari is equally sustainable and proven. However, non-duality between soul and the soul-provider or Atma and Paramatma is deplorable. This is what has been cryptically explained in this stanza by Sri Jagannatha Dasaru. All these factors have explained in detail in the seventh Canto of Bhagavata, though different schools of thought have tacitly tried to interpret them differently.

SUMMARY: Vishranti Teertha removes the agony in the journey of family life that appears in the form of life and death; the fascinating waters of Vishranti Teertha lie shining there on its bank where Lord Sri Krishna had stayed to have some rest; May this glorious Vishranti Teertha, which ensures the devotees who take a bath in it the bliss of salvation and a place in Sri Vaikuntha, the abode of Lord Vishnu, fulfill the desires of everyone.

In a nutshell, Sri Vadirajaru has requested Vishranti Teertha to grant fulfillment of sane desires of those who take a dip in this holy water body.

अघश्रांतिकरस्यास्य कथं विश्रांतितीर्थता॥३३॥

SUMMARY: Sri Vadirajaru is describing the power of Vishranti Teertha in a poetic manner in this stanza. Even though the name VishrAnti TeerTha, which means holy water that provides rest, is justified because it provided rest to Lord Sri Krishna, one should not mistake its name to have been derived after the water got tired of cleansing the devotees from their sins. A question may arise, Sri Vadirajaru appears to put in this context. If the water body cannot have rest for itself, then how can it provide rest to others? But, the water of Vishranti Teertha comprises of positive energy or Punya that cannot be secured by performing thousands of Ashwamedha Yaga. Such being the case, the other holy water bodies seem to be wearing pale and gloomy faces in front of Vishranti Teertha as they feel that none of them possess so much of positive energy as Vishranti Teertha possesses. Sri Vadirajaru sarcastically states in this stanza that Vishranti Teertha is putting the sins or negative energies emanating from sins to rest and that is why it has earned the name Vishranti Teertha.

Description of Vrindavan in Mathura will be furnished in the next episode.

(Pratipada Artha for highly descriptive stanzas like these spoils the beauty of its meaning because for several Sanskrit words, there are no equivalent words in English. For instance, verbal translation of words like Papa, Punya, Shrati, Vishranti etc., into English fails to provide the joy of reading these stanzas.)

The Monkey-Demon battle/ವಾನರ-ಅಸುರರ ನಡುವೆ ಯುದ್ಧಾರಂಭ

VAnaraihi vairiGhAtee – “VAnaraihi rAkShasAn aGhAtayat” (वानरैः वैरिघाती – ’वानरैः राक्षसान् अघातयत्’)

Lord Hanumantha confronted Indrajitu, who escaped from the scene as he knew the power and strength of Hanumantha. Ignoring  the three sharp arrows shot at him, Sampati crushed demon Prajangha with a tree called Ashwakarna to death. Jambumali tried to confront Hanumantha with Shaktyayudh but met his own end after Hanumantha busted him into a mutton ball by hitting that demon with his fist. Nala plucked the two eyes of Pratapana and killed the demon. Tapa was killed by Gaja, who used mountains and his own strong fist. Vibheeshana massacred Mitraghna. Demon Virupaksha created an artificial rain of arrows which was halted by Lakshmana. Lakshmana killed Virupaksha instantly with a single arrow. Prahasta met his end when Sugreeva hit him with a tree named Saptaparna.  The huge body of Vajramushti was made to look like a red ball after he was hit with the fist by Mainda. Neela broke the chariot of Nikumbha, took out the wheel and crushed the demon with that wheel. Great Vanara Vividha hit demon Ashaniprabha with Sal Tree and end his life. Vidyunmali was busted along with his chariot with a huge rock by Sushena. The war between demons and monkeys went on like this. Monkeys or Vanaras used their nails, tooth, rocks, trees, mountains and other objects as weapons to kill most of the demon chiefs and commanders. Demons had brought different weapons to the field but could hardly succeed against the Vanaras. Several streams of blood were created in the battlefield. Carcasses, dead bodies of demons and Vanaras, broken bones, human flesh were flowing in those streams of blood.

Dhumraksha, Aakampana, Yupaksha, Kumbha, Nikumbha, Suptaghna, Narantaka, Devantaka, Yuddhonmatta, Atikaya, Makaraksha and other prominent commanders and demon warriors were killed in the fierce battle, which prompted Ravana to venture into the battlefield to arrest the loss his army was suffering from at the hands of Vanaras.

The first battle of Ravana will be discussed in the next episode.

SUMMARY (1): Sri Narayana, who purifies the heart and mind of the righteous, wore a charming infant’s form called Datta after the pure-hearted wife of Sage Atri, AnasUya, appealed to him with great devotion. (Incarnation of Dattatreya)

SUMMERY (2): When the sages and Rishis shed their jealousy, inculcated pure knowledge and offered prayers with blemishless, unsuspicious and coherent devotion, eternal God Sri Narayana wore the form of Kumara to grant salvation and ultimate realisation to the righteous.

The word Anasuya is essentially the name of the wife of Sage Atri, whose son transformed into Dattatreya, following an appeal by Anasuya. Anasuya can be divided as ‘an+asuya’ which means ‘without jealosy’, which is one of the essential traits to be inculcated by sages for attaining salvation.

There is a misconception, according to scholars, that the form of Sri Dattatreya is a testimony for the fact that Sri Vishnu, Sri Brahma and Sri Maheshwara are one and the same. Dattatreya is a complete incarnation of Sri Vishnu, which, in spiritual parlor, is known as Yogapravartaka form. The purpose of theincarnations of Sri Dattatreya as well as Sri Kumara, which is manifested in Sanatkumara and others, is the promotion of spirituality and spiritual knowledge, culture and tradition. Sage Atri had two more sons namely Moon and Durvasa. In the Moon, a portion of the spiritual attributes of Lord Brahma are said to be existing. Sage Durvasa is an incarnation of Lord Rudra.

In Bharata Tatparya Nirnaya the following stanza clarifies or confirms the above interpretation:

SanatkumAranAmA tu Brahmacharyavapurharihi|

SanatkumAramaparam Brahmaputram vivESha yaha|

Sa mAm yOgyEtarAtkAmAtpatu vishvEshvaro Harihi||Bharata Tatparya NirNaya 6/7/17||

The forms of Rishabha and Hamsa will be described in the next stanza/episode.

SUMMARY: Sri Hari, Lord of inexplicable greatness, resides in the eight petals of the lotus-like heart, keeps roaming about in those petals and loads the minds of unruly people with insane thoughts; he loads the minds of righteous people with proper and worthy knowledge (Sujnana) and he keeps enhancing the spirituality, culture and tradition; being blemishless and an embodiment of supreme bliss, he balances and pacifies all beings.

SUMMARY: Lord Sri Hari draws the names of wealth, body, house, wife, heirs, friends and other animate objects, character, mind, wisdom and other senses for himself; in accordance with his self-imposed pledge, he indulges in all kinds of activities and gets all beings do their daily routine deeds. One should keep thinking of Lord Hari in this manner throughout life.

In this stanza, the poet ordains that everyone should think that whatever he or she does, thinks, acts and reacts is being done, thought of, acted upon and reacted by Lord Sri Hari. It is the complete surrender and an unwritten law that none is independent.
