SUMMARY:  Later, Sri Madhwacharyaru defeated in a debate a perverted scholar called ‘JarAGhaTitagOtra’ and another person, who, on the power secured by him through the blessing of his beloved divinity to subjugate even the most powerful and he had made several scholars his serfs. Once, he(JarAGhaTitagOtra) obstructed a sacrifice that a son of the Master of Sri Madhwaru had begun. This debate and defeat of Jaraghatitagotra and another person took place in the presence of BAlakanyApurADhipa and PashchimADhipa and other kings.

This incident happened during the installation of Sri Krishna statue in connection with which a sacrifice, as part of the overall ritual, was being performed. At that time, JarAGhaTitagOtra, who had overpowered a vampire and had secured some mysterious power, began claiming that none except he could complete any sacrifice. Sri Madhwaru personally met him, challenged him in front of several heads of the region.

In Bhavaprakashika, it has been clearly mentioned that Jaraghatitagotra was the name of a place and the person was called as MaraDittAya. It is said that he was an occult devotee of Lord Rudra and that he had impressed upon Lord Rudra through his devotion and had secured mysterious, misleading powers. He was defeated by Sri Madhwaru.

SUMMARY: Thus, consort of Sree (Lakshmi) Sri Hari occupies all the beings in Aniruddha and other forms through the spiritual maxims, tenets and principles; he swerves inside the bodies like creeper and as Tarpaka in the souls of ancestors, the Lord of infinite greatness (Atulamahima) exists in the universe in as many as ninety-six forms.

Sri Jagannatha Dasaru has explained in this stanza that the Rice Balls and offer of oblations during annual ceremony for ancestors are received by the Lord and gives the ancestors absolute satisfaction. It is mentioned in Scriptures that the ancestors stay in a separate world called Pitru Loka with a portion of their soul (Amsha) and the rest descends to Earth through rebirth, which, depending upon the Karma, varies from person to person and this process is called as cycle of birth and death. Moksha or Mukti means relief from this cycle of birth and death.

SUMMARY: Lord Sri Hari, with the sole purpose of protecting all the beings (both animate and inanimate), Lord Sri Hari exists in all of them in one thousand one hundred and fifty-two forms in the twenty-four spiritual tenets and the in-charge deites such as Brahma and others. However, there is no benefit from all these acts for the Lord of this Universe.

Scholars like Sri Kamalapati Dasaru interpret the number differently and arrive at different numbers.

SUMMARY: Husband of Goddess Indira, Sri Hari, dwells in eleven organs in eleven forms. Being the benefactor of charm and beauty, Sri Hari, who is called as Purusha, is an embodiment of bliss or complete mirth and knowledge. Existing in the tiny body, Sri Hari is most intimate as he does not stay off even for one moment from the earthly beings.

The eleven forms are Shakti, Partishtha, Samvit, Sphurti, Pravrutti, Kala, Vidya, Mati, Niyati, Maya and Kaala. These are common nouns and hence do not warrant translation.

SUMMARY: Lord Venkatesha, who is adorned with the Divine Conch and Divine Disc, and surrenders unto his feet, clears assures that whoever meditates his name and surrenders unto his feet, will have the sorrow and miseries of family life only up to their waist. They will be able to cross the ocean of worldly life quite easily.

It may be recalled that in Ramayana, Ravana abducted Seetha Devi when Rama and Lakshmana were away from the hermitage. However, holy Scriptures make it clear that the woman abducted by Ravana was not the real Seetha but Vedavati, daughter of Fire God, who was there in the hermitage of Rama in the guise of Seetha Devi. It was for this reason that after killing Ravana, Srirama asked Seetha Devi to ‘prove’ her purity. Look-alike Seetha Devi decided to immolate. But in reality, Fire God Agni needed a platform to return Seetha Devi to Srirama and take away his daughter Vedavati. At that time, Vedavati expressed her desire to become the wife of Srirama. However, Srirama told her that he would incarnate as Srinivasa and she would then be born as Padmavati on Earth and that he would marry her during Kali Yuga.

When Sri Vadirajaru visited Tirupati, the entire Venkata Giri or hill appeared as a large stone of Saligrama, which is very sacred. That is why, Sri Vadirajaru did not want to walk on the Saligrama on his feet. It is said, he climbed the Venkatagiri on his knees.

Sri Srinivasa in Tirupati is one of the most popular pilgrim centres in the world. The concluding stanza on Sri Srinivasa by Sri Vadirajaru will be explained in the next episode.

SRI #RAMACHARITRYA #MANJARI

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

Valmeeki narrates the history of his hermitage to Shatrughna/ಮಹರ್ಷಿ ವಾಲ್ಮೀಕಿಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಆಶ್ರಮದ ಇತಿಹಾಸವನ್ನು ಶತ್ರುಘ್ನನಿಗೆ ವಿವರಿಸಿದುದು

“In this place, a king named Mitrasaha, son of King Sudasa, was living. He was a descendant of Surya dynasty. Once he was on a hunting spree. Two demons were roaming about in the forest in the guise of deer and Mitrasaha killed one of them with his arrow. The other one disappeared from the place and that demon decided to create some serious problem to the killer of his brother, Mitrasaha. He managed to join the royal kitchen in the guise of a chef.

“Once, Mitrasaha performed a holy sacrifice. After the completion of that Yajna, the demon went close to Mitrasaha in the guise of Royal Priest Vasishtha. Expressing his desire to each human flesh, he urged Mitrasaha to serve human flesh to him. King was unwilling to fulfill this demand. However, unable to identify the demon within, because of his reverence to Vasishtha, Mitrasaha agreed to provide disguised Vasishtha with human flesh to eat. The fake sage said he would complete routine oblations and return by which time the food prepared with human flesh should be ready and went away. Now, he transformed into his earlier form of chef and baked the human flesh. Meanwhile the real sage Vasishtha came and the king, inadvertently, served the human flesh. Vasishtha became furious by mistaking the king to have planned to corrupt him by serving human flesh and cursed the king.

‘Oh King, you have tried to feed human flesh to me. Therefore, I curse to be a demon cannibal. The king, who was innocent, was enraged by the curse slapped on him by Vasishtha without any reason and he too decided to curse the sage. He performed the ‘Aachamana’ and vouched to curse the sage. The queen Damayanti stopped the king from cursing a Brahmin and the king obliged.

“The king looked at the water he had taken in the palm to announce the curse and the water were actually boiling because of the power he had secured through penance. The king was in a dilemma. If he were to throw that water upward, the clouds would be scattered and the vegetation on earth would be dried. He did not want the entire humanity and vegetation on earth to get destroyed due to his rage. He could not decide on how to discharge the water from him. Finally, he poured that water on his own leg and the leg was fully burnt. As a result, the leg wore a horrible look and therefore the king came to be known as ‘Kalmashapada’ since that day.

In the meantime, Sage Vasishtha came to know that King Mitrasaha was innocent and that he had cursed the king in haste. He regretted that he had insensibly cursed the king and told the latter that he could not ‘withdraw the curse’ but could lay a deadline for the curse and limit its impact to a certain period. The king agreed. Vasishtha said that the curse would be effective for twelve years and later, the curse would lose its power.

At this juncture, a demon named ‘Kinkara’ entered the body Kalmashapada.

As per the curse, King Mitrasaha became a demon with the soul-power of Kinkara. He ate human flesh and lived as a demon. Once, he disguised as a deer and saw a couple of sages romancing by disguising themselves as deer. He caught the male deer of that romancing couple to kill it. Then, the female deer appeared in human form as a woman and appealed to demon-converted king not to kill her husband. The demon did not agree. He killed the male deer and ate it.

The woman prepared a pyre, put the corpse of her husband and set fire. When the flames started blazing, the woman too entered and sacrificed her life for her husband. However, before dying, she cursed the demon: ‘I was romancing with my husband when you unnecessarily intruded and killed my husband. You should never get satisfaction from your wife in your life. If you try to do so, you will immediately die.’
