A few more references to this instance are worth citing and worth remembering.

Sri Satyatirtharu mentions in his “Madhwa Vilasa”:

There is another significant information provided by Sri Vadirajaru in his Madhwanama, published by the University of Mysore. More importantly, this information is given in Kannada by Sri Vadirajaru.

The gist of all these writings is almost same. In his work titled “Madehwakathasudarpana”, Sri Bhagavatashyamacharya, in his “JayeendrOdaya”, Sri Karikehalli Srinivasacharya, Sri Vadirajaru in his “Avataratrayasuvvali”, Sri Chalari Acharyaru have elaborated this information.

It is stated in Puranas that the original statue of Lord Krisha was in the Saligrama Shile or stone and it was self-manifested reminiscent of the infant Krishna, as requested by Devaki Devi and it was later sculpted by Vishwakarma under the instructions of Sri Krishna and as desired by Rukmini Devi. This is further substantiated by Sri Raghuvarya Tirtharu in his Prameyamalika (Anumadhwavijaya). Sri Raghuvarya Tirtharu also mentions that Lord Varuna personally appeared in front of Sri Madhwaru and handed over the statue of Sri Krishna to him.

SUMMARY: Sri Narayana occupies the entire body; SanakruShaNa occupies the portion of the body from waist to feet; Sri Vasudeva exists in the portion from head to waist; AnirudDha and Pradyumna stay in the left side and right side, respectively. Anyone thinking in this manner is free from insanity and other spiritual restrictions.

Thoughts on these lines and having a firm faith that the Lord is in our body in different parts wearing different forms simply purify the heart and mind. When the heart and mind are pure, unassuming and unsuspicious, there is no need for anyone to follow restricted, orthodox life, no need to go on pilgrimage, no need to adopt strict and specific principles in life.

SUMMARY: Sri Padmanabha resides in the hands; Sri HruShikEsha resides in the mouth; SreeDhara is in the nose; Sri Vamana is in the tongue; Sri Trivikrama is in the soft skin; Lord Madhusudhana exists in the eyes; Sri Vishnu exists in the ears under the name of Sri Shravana.

SutraBhaShya explains this aspect clearly:

SUMMARY: Those great people, who think, with the grace and power of Lord Hari, that Lord Govinda is in the mind, Narayana in the Supreme Knowledge (Mahattatva), Keshava in the invisible principles (Avyaktatattva) are not human beings existing on earth but celestial beings indeed.

It is a common phenomenon that none on earth can ever entertain such broad thoughts. Those who do so are not ordinary human beings but deities born on earth for some strange reasons.

Dhanapa means Kubera and Dhanapasakha refers to the intimate friend of Kubera, i.e. Lord Shiva.

SUMMARY: This capital city known as Anegondi is extraordinary because in this place the elephants, which wore the globe-like philosophy of Sri Madhwaru, are aplenty and decorative.

This refers to the place where the most popular pilgrim for Madhwa community namely Navavrundavana exists. The Gajas or the elephants adoring the philosophy of Sri Madhwaru is believed to refer to some of the then acclaimed scholars of Madhwa Philosophy like Padmanabha Tirtharu and so on, who were often referred to as Ashta Diggajas or the Elephants which are bearing the Earth in eight directions.

Mythologically, Anegundi is believed to have been known as Kishkindha during Tretayuga. Kishkindha was the capital of Vali, who was killed by Rama, who made Sugreeva, the elder brother of Vali, as the king. The place is more poplar for being the birth place of Lord Hanumantha.

Anegundi or Anegondi in the local Kannada language means a pit of elephants. Historically, a tiny kingdom, which was to later expand into one of the richest and largest empires in the world history called Vijayanagar, was started in this place and it was the capital city of that kingdom. The remnants of a circular fort that still exist around Anegundi bears testimony for this fact. Anegundi is now on the opposite shores of Tungabhadra and hence connectivity is still a bit problematic issue.

The place is surrounded by a range of hills beside the river on one side. It is worth remembering this place on this auspicious occasion because the earth breaking ceremony for the long cherished dream of constructing a Srirama temple at the birth place of Srirama called Ayodhya is scheduled for Wednesday, August 5, 2020. The day is more significant and auspicious for the fact that it was on the Dwiteeya of Shravana Masa Shukla Paksha in Varsha Ritu that Sri Raghavendra Swamy entered the Brindavan at Mantralayam.

SRI #RAMACHARITRYA #MANJARI

(ಶ್ರೀ #ರಾಘವೆಂದ್ರಸ್ವಾಮಿ ವಿರಚಿತ “#ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮಚಾರಿತ್ರ್ಯ ಮಂಜರಿ”)          

Srirama bestows a boon upon a dog/ಶ್ರೀರಾಮನಿಂದ ನಾಯಿಗೆ ವರದಾನ

ಅರ್ತಶ್ವಗದಿತಕೃತ್ “ಭಿಕ್ಷುದಂಡತಾಡಿತಶುನಾ ಭಿಕ್ಷುಶಿಕ್ಷಾರ್ಥಂ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿತಸ್ತದ್ವಚನೇನ ಭಿಕ್ಷವೇ ಕಾಲಂಜರಾಖ್ಯದೇವಾಲಯಾಧಿಪತ್ಯಂ ದತ್ವಾ”/Artashwagaditakrut “BhikShudanDatADitashunA BhikShushikShArTham prArThitastadwachanEna BhikShavE kAlamjarAKhyadEvAlayADhipatyam datvA”/अर्तश्वगदितकृत् “भिक्षुदंडताडितशुना भिक्षुशिक्षार्थं प्रार्थितस्ततद्वचनॆन भिक्षवॆ कालन्जराख्यदॆवालयाधिपत्यं दत्वा”

An ascetic thrashed a dog with a club. The dog appealed to punish the ascetic. Accordingly, the ascetic was made in-charge of a temple called Kalanjara.

Once, a dog came crying and appealed: “Oh Rama! I have come to you because you are the protector of those who surrender to you. Please save me.” The dog was walking on two legs and had folded the two front legs as a symbol of salutation. Lakshmana saw the dog and questioned: “Who has frightened you in the kingdom of Srirama?” The dog replied “I will open my cup woes in front of Rama only”. Lakshmana informed Srirama about the plea of the dog. Later, Lakshmana took the dog in front of Srirama. The dog saluted Srirama and stood in front of him. Srirama said: “Shed any confusion or fear. You can tell me boldly, without any hesitation.” In the kingdom of Srirama all animals could speak. The dog started telling Rama in a calm tone:

“Oh Lord, I am born in a very low and abusive specie of Dog. None can count the qualities you possess. Anyone praising your qualities gets affluent. None has the capacity to completely praise or enumerate your qualities. The kindness you show for downtrodden is infinite. Please hear my plight. I have been severely thrashed with a club by a saint called Sarvarthasiddha, even though I have not wronged him in any manner. Please bless me with your kindness and justice.”

Srirama summoned Sarvarthasiddha to the royal court. Srirama discussed with his ministers about the punishment to be given to the saint. It was not that Srirama could not take a unilateral decision, especially since the matter was very trivial. The dog saw Rama discussing the matter with his ministers and elderly people. The dog suggested: “Oh Rama, you may appoint that saint as the chief priest of the temple known as Kalanjara. That will be the most appropriate punishment.”

Srirama installed the saint on the position of chief priest of that temple and sent him to the designated temple on an elephant. The saint joyously accepted the appointment and went away.

The Ministers were confused and shocked by this honor to the priest. They questioned Rama on the propriety of the punishment. Srirama then turned his face towards the dog and looked at it inquisitively. The dog, which remembered its previous birth, replied: “I was the priest in this temple. I got this birth as dog due to the atrocities and misdeeds committed by me as a priest. Therefore, I wanted this saint also commit the same sort of crime or sin and take birth as a dog in his next birth on earth.” The dog retired to Kashi to do penance. The dog got rid of the negative impact of its misdeeds in the previous birth by undertaking a long and devoted meditation.

There are quite a few references for the consecration of an idol of Sri Krishna at Udupi by Sri Madhwaru. A few of them are being submitted for the knowledge of the knowledgeable readers.  

Sri Vadirajaru states in his Teerthaprabandha:

SUMMARY: Lord Sri Krishna left his pompous and glorious royal abode in Dwaraka, sacrificed the worship that the Gopikas were devoutly offering him every day and crossed the Ocean, which was the maternal home of his beloved wife Rama Devi, only to reach his most beloved devotee Sri Madhwacharyaru, who was then present in Rajatapeethapura or the present Udupi. Thus, Udupi has a special spiritual significance.

ईशाचलं च जयसीश्वरमात्रवासं श्रीमध्वहस्तकमलार्चितकृष्णमूर्त्या॥१०॥

SUMMARY: Oh renowned Rupyapeethapura, none of the innumerable holy places across India, which are shining like silver, have been able to match you; due to the presence of the idol of Lord Krishna, which has been worshipped by the lotus hands of Sri Madhwacharyaru, you have set aside the greatness of Mount Kailas, which is the holy abode of Lord Rudra.

Several years ago, a Kshatriya king called Ramabhoja was plowing a piece of land in the present day Udupi with a yoke. At that time, a king cobra came under the yoke and died suddenly. The king was highly worried as he thought that he had committed a serious crime by killing the cobra. Lord Parashurama then consoled the king by stating that the cobra that had died was in fact a demon, who was roaming about there in the form of a serpent and therefore there was no need for the king to be worried. The king was not fully satisfied with the explanation. As suggested by Lord Parashurama, the king got four silver Peethas or divine seats, installed them in four directions and consecrated four idols of serpent on each Peetha and worshipped them. Lord Parashurama later told that at the end of Yuga, he would himself manifest there and that the place be known as Rajatapeethapura, where Rajata means silver and Peetha is the spiritual seat.

SUMMARY: May Lord Sri Krishna, who is beholding in one hand a churner that viciously churns and eradicates the misfortune of all his devotees and is having a rope in another hand a rope to be used in the churning, who is the emblem of honor and adoration to Shivalli, a village where Lord Eshwara is living, and that Lord Krishna who acts like a servant with his devotees, be pleased with my prayers.

Lord Krishna consecrated by Sri Madhwacharyaru in Udupi is having a churner in his right hand and a rope that is used in churning in his left hand. The Churning by Lord Krishna is compared to the Churning of Karmas and the resultant butter is bestowing of boons by the Lord, who is always ready to relieve his devotees from all sorts of misfortune and hardships. With the arrival of Lord Krishna at Udupi, the silver lining and the shine that Kailas Parvat held due to the presence of Lord Eshwara there, has shifted to Udupi, says Sri Vadirajaru in this stanza.
