SUMMARY: Lord Vayu won against all other deities with his speed; he drank the Somarasa earlier than other deities on all three occasions; how can the sacrifice performed by Sri Madhwaru, who is an incarnation of Lord Vayu, be appropriately described?
In this stanza, Sri Narayana Panditacharyaru has described the glory of the spectacle of the sacrifice that Sri Madhwaru got performed by the son of his Guru in cryptic manner. When Lord Vayu, who is equal to Lord Brahma and next only to Goddess Lakshmi in knowing the qualities of Lord Vishnu, organizes the performance of a sacrifice, there can be no room for shortcomings, errors or flaw. There can be least doubt about the offerings reaching the target deities and Lord Vishnu.
The details of Lord Vayu drinking the Somarasa before other deities could drink it on all the three occasions has been vividly described in the Aitareya Brahmana and the same has been mentioned in Bhava Prakashika (refer page 337, Sumadhwavijaya compiled by Dr. Vyasanakere Prabhanjanacharyaru).
“DEvA vai sOmasya rAjnO(s)grapEyE na samapAdayannaham praThamaha pibEyamaham praThamaha pibEyamityEvAkAmayanta tE sampAdayantO(s)bruvan| HantAjimayAm say O na ujjEShyati sa praThamaha sOmasya pAsyateeti taThEti ta aajimayustEShAmAjimyatAmaBhisruShTAnAm vAyurmuKham praThamaha pratyapadyatAThEndrO(s)tha mitrAvaruNAvaThAshwinau| SO(s)vEdindrO VAyumudvai jayateeti tamanu parApatat| Saha nAvaThOjjayAvEti sa nEtyabraveedahamEvOjyEShyAmeeti truteeyam mE(s)ThOjjayAvEti naiti haivAbraveet| AhamEvOjjE-

“दॆवा वै सॊमस्य राझॊsग्रपॆयॆ न समपादयन्नहं प्रथमः पिबॆयमहं प्रथमः पिऎयमित्यॆवाकामयन्त तॆ सम्पादयन्तॊsब्रुवन्। हन्ताजिमयाम स यॊ न उज्जॆष्यति स प्रथमः सॊमस्य पास्यतीति तथॆति त आजिमयुस्तॆषामाजिम्यतामभिसृष्टानां वायुर्मुखं प्रथमः प्रत्यपद्यताथॆन्द्रॊsथ मित्रावरुणावथाश्विनौ। सॊsवॆदिन्द्रॊ वायुमुद्वै जयतीति तमनु परातत्। सह नावथॊज्जयावॆति स नॆत्यब्रवीदहमॆवॊज्यॆष्यामीति तृतीयं मॆsथॊज्जयावॆति नैति हैवाब्रवीत्। अहमॆवॊज्जॆष्यामीति। तुरीयं मॆsथॊज्जयावॆति तथॆति। तं तुरीयॆsत्यार्जत तत् तुरीय भागिन्द्रॊsभवत्। त्रिभाग् वायुः।“ इत्यैतरॆब्राह्मणॆ (१/९/१)
Once, the deities were stuck in a dilemma as to who among them should drink the Somarasa first and finally decided that the super most deity among them should be given the first opportunity. Then Lord Vayu defeated all other deities in speed for three times and therefore drank the Somarasa first on all the three occasions. Being an incarnation of such supreme Lord Vayu, Sri Madhwaru is unmatched and none can rise a finger at the sacrifice performed under his guidance and direction.

SUMMARY: Sri Madhwacharyaru, who propounded the metaphysical elements underlying the philosophy and culture, got such acts as sacrifices performed as a part of culture and tradition, a mandatory means of impressing upon Lord Vishnu, reminiscent of listening and studying holy texts to acquire the knowledge that would pave the way for salvation.
The acquisition of Brahma JnAna is essential and a prelude to attainment of salvation. Similarly, apart from regular and routine worshipping of Lord Vishnu, meditation and chanting of hymns etc., performance of sacrifices through good priests at regular intervals is essential to attain salvation. Each and every act is interconnected and inter-related. All the spiritual acts, including worship, salutation, oblations, sacrifices etc., virtually connected and the common factor is always submission to Lord Vishnu, say sages, saints, Rishis, Munis and scholars.

Jeevanmukta means a soul that is eligible to attain salvation. Sarvasunilaya is one of the names recited in Sri Vishnusahasranama.

SUMMARY: This most charming Varadaraja is most romantic, certainly. If he was
not so, he would not have chosen Kanchee, a very distinct place of his consort
Mother Earth, to reside.
Sri Vadirajaru has deftly described Lord Varadaraju as well as the place called
Kanchipuram, which is considered to be like the jewel worn by women at the waist
of Earth.
Kanchi is considered to be one of the seven holiest places known to provide
salvation to the devotees. Kashi and Kanchi are like two eyes of Lord Rudra. It is said that when Lord Brahma performed a sacrifice here, Lord Vishnu manifested out of the sacrificial fire in the form of Sri Varadaraju. It is mentioned in the Lalitopakhyana in Brahmanda Purana that when Lord Brahma did penance seeking the Darshan of Goddess Lakshmi, she appeared in front of him along with Lord Narayana.
Kanchi is known to have been made of two parts namely Shivakanchee and Vishnukanchee.
Kancheepuram is well connected by train and surface transport.
A temple dedicated to Sri Varadaraju is situated in Vishnukanchee. The temple is about three miles away from the railway station. Shivakanchee is against about three miles away from Vishnukanchee.
Sri Vadirajaru has dedicated two more stanzas in praise of Sri Varadaraju. These two stanzas will be furnished in the next episode.

SUMMARY: Most knowledgeable (Sarvajna) younger brother of Sri Madhwaru was the head priest (Hotru) of the sacrifice that Sri Madhwaru got performed by the son of his Guru; he (younger brother of Sri Madhwaru), by chanting the Mantras eulogizing the deities through proper variations in the sound, made the respective deities happy.
Younger brother of Sri Madhwaru came to be known as Sri Vishnu Tirtharu after he was initiated into sainthood.
Yajya refers to the second Ruk or sentence of the holy chant that the priest pronounces before offering the specified item into the sacrificial fire. AnuvAkyA is a phase involved in the conclusion of the sacrifice. Pravargya, Vibhava and AbhiShTava are related to the performance of the sacrifice for which there is no word in English to exactly convey the meaning.

SUMMARY: Very sharp and intellectual brother of Sri Madhwaru reached the part of offerings to respective deities like Agni (Fire God), Vayu (Air God) and others by disappointing the Asuras and demons, who tried to spoil the sacrifice, by employing sharp weapons of appropriate holy chants, like a super Victor.
Here is an indication that proper pronounciation of appropriate Mantras or holy chants ensure perfect completion of sacrifices not only by driving away the deterrents such as attacks of demons or evil spirits but also conveying the offerings to respective deities so that they get satisfied and pleased to bless the performer. Fire God, Air God and other recipients of the offerings are known as Vishwedevatas.

SUMMARY: Twelve forms such as Keshava exist in the twelve months; Vedayasa exists in twelve Pundras or Twelve Namas or marks of Gopi worn on the body by Brahmins; Aniruddha and others reside in the Six Ritus; with this firm faith, one should do righteous deeds, without any desire or demand or expectation and pray to Lord Sri Hari, seeking his kindness and grace.
Forms of Keshava and others should be invoked each month commencing from Margasheersha month till Kartika month. Keshava and other eleven forms should be thought of while wearing the twelve linear marks on the body with Gopi Chandana.
