SRI #MADHWAVIJAYAHA – YEKADASHAHA SARGAHA SHLOKAS 3, 4 AND 5  (79)

ಶ್ರೀ #ಮಧ್ವವಿಜಯ ಏಕಾದಶ ಸರ್ಗ 3, 4 ಮತ್ತು 5ನೇ ಶ್ಲೋಕಗಳ ಅರ್ಥವಿವರಣೆ (79)

SUMMARY: “Oh Lord of the Universe Sri Shesha! What are the benefits of reciting/meditating the Shastras of the most revered Sri Poornaprajnaru again and again, even as they are being valued and respected very highly by the most pleasant Gods like you?

Sages Sanaka and other Munis are merely expressing bewilderment over the fact that Gods of the rank and status of Lord Shesha are keenly listening to the Shastras of Sri Madhwacharyaru and respecting them highly. They are enquiring with Lord Shesha about the benefits of reading, listening to and meditating the Shastras of Sri Madhwacharyaru again and again. This does not mean that Sage Sanaka and others were unaware of the benefits. They are asking this question to let the virtuous and spirituous people know the benefits of meditating Sri Madhwashastra.

This is the way knowledgeable persons, despite being fully aware of everything ask questions as though they want to improve their knowledge. Indirectly, they want to make common people also know the significance of special knowledge. Sanakadi Munis questioned Sri Adi Shesha with this intention.

The word “LOkapatE” indicates, symbolically, that thousand-hooded Lord Adi Shesha is holding the Saptasagaras or Seven Seas, the respective islands and the mansions in those islands. This stanza is especially significant since Lord Shesha himself has explained the benefits of acquiring Sri Madhwashastra.

SUMMARY: For those aware of the benefits of listening to the Shastras, a natural flair for the Shastra occurs, naturally. Therefore, you may kindly elaborate the benefits of Sri Madhwashastra as you can explain them in greater detail to be understood well. You are most revered and kind.

Power, benefits and complete knowledge of the subject matter being dealt with are the most prominent tools of acquiring comprehensive benefits of Shastras. The significance of Sri Sanakadis questioning on the benefits of Sri Madhwashastra in the backdrop of this reasoning will affirm the importance of the question. Moreover, Lord Shesha is the Prime Commentator and his commentary on Sri Madhwashastra can be hardly exaggerated.

Immersing in his qualities, forms and actions, Goddess Bhargavi, Sri Mahalakshmi is present eternally with her blissful form.

Bhargavi is one of the names of Sri Lakshmi, which is drawn due to her birth in the dynasty of Bhrugu Maharishi. This is also the reason for Friday being considered as most auspicious to worship Goddess Lakshmi. Bhruguvasara means Friday.

SUMMARY: Oh Lord Sreesha! Consort of Sri Lakshmi, Lord of Anantapura! Are you sleeping (hiding) on Sri Adi Shesha due to fear of the movement of Lotus? Or, are your sleeping due to your affection and attachment to your son Brahma, who adores your naval? Are you sleeping on the most adorable serpent Adi Shesha, day and night, due to your love for his soft and youthful physique? Are your sleeping after consuming the delicious and tasty rice and other food items offered by your devotees? Or are you sleeping due to the service being rendered at your feet by Sri Lakshmi Devi?

Most efficient Lord Anantapadmanabha at Anantapura is personally informing this supreme knowledge to scholarly and knowledgeable people.  

Symbolically, there are three doors in the temple of Sri Ananthashayana. The face of the Lord is seen from the first, the naval and middle portion of the Lord from the second door and the feet alone from the third. Everyone can have a comprehensive and complete Darshan of the Lord by standing in front of the face of the Lord. The three portions of the Lord seen through the three doors empower the devotees with devotion, meditation and detachment.

SRI #MADHWAVIJAYAHA – YEKADASHAHA SARGAHA SHLOKAS 1 AND 2  (79)

SUMMARY: Lord Shesha, along with Sanaka and other Munis, listened to the discourse of Sri Purnaprajna (BrahmasutraBhAShya), standing in the sky. They showed up a part of their forms to the public on Earth for a very little while and disappeared instantly and went to their abodes.

Here is the evidence to the fact that even deities liked the discourses of Sri Madhwaru and were yearning to hear his discourses.

There is a detailed description of this fact in Chalari Achar’s Commentary.

“KadAchinmaDhwAchAryE BrahmasUtravyAKhyAnam kurvati sati shEShadEvaha sanakAdimuniBhihi saha aagatyAntarikSha yEva sThitvA MaDhwavyAKhyAnam ShrutwA gamanasamayE  BhUmiShyashrOtRujanaihi kinchit druShTaha san tatkShaNa yEvAdruShTaha san swasThAnam jagAma iti BhAvaha| AtrEdamaitihyam| ChandrABhAvasamayE tasmin vyAKhyAnasThalE vyAKhyAnArThamAgatasya shEShasya shuBhrAyAm kAntau vyAptAyAm kuta idAneem chandrikEtyAshcharyam kruvANAn BhUmiShThajanAn prati nEyam chandrikA kintu shEShakAntiriti vadat MaDhwaha gachChantam shESham pradarshayAmAsa iti|

Once, Sri Madhwaru was presenting a discourse during night that was berefr of moonlight. Then, there was a sudden light in the sky. People started wondering about the reason for such light to have suddenly covered the sky. Sri Madhwaru explained to the people that the light was not moonlight but Lord Shesha had come there to hear his discourse and the light was emanating from Lord Shesha. Sri Madhwaru is also said to have shown to the people Lord Shesha, who was about to return to his place. This has been mentioned in Bhavaprakashike:

SUMMARY: Sri Sanaka and other Munis, who were the embodiment of modesty, saluted the most radiant, thousand-hooded Lord SheSha, who was in their house then, saluted him and  questioned him in this way…

Lord SheSha has one thousand hoods and two thousand legs and what better compliment can be given to Madhwashastra after Lord SheSha alone praised it!

Sri Sanakadi Munis sought to know from Lord Shesha about the benefits of Madhwa Bhashya.

SUMMARY: In the twelve pulses that are considered to be the reason for this, holy rivers such as Ganga are present in the ears. Lord Sri Hari is there in Keshava and other twelve forms. In the Sushumna pulse, which is the softest among all other pulses, Lord Hari is present in the form known as YEkAtma.

The information about the presence of rivers in the pulses is mentioned in Sri Bhagavata and other Scriptures. It is therefore very important and significant that everyone remembers the names of rivers as present in the twelve pulses.

SUMMARY: Sri Hari, who is the subject matter of Vedas and is in the form of Pradyumna, stays in Sushumna Pulse in the body and in the forms of Vishwa and others, he stays in IDA and PingaLa Pulses. Being an embodiment of purity and pure form, he stays in Bharati, Saraswati, Vayu and four-faced Brahma and prompts the acts, characters and attitudes of beings, in accordance with their eligi


bility. He is Omnipresent.

Amnaya or Amnaaya means Vedas. The word “NaDevanu” means walks, which, symbolically means prompts actions.

SUMMARY: I serve the Lord of Sri Anantashayanapura, who is getting served by Sri Lakshmi Devi and Sri Bhoo Devi at the feet; who is always adorned with ever bright, shining jewels; who is always in the sleeping posture; who has the shining lotus in the naval; who is being meditated continuously by the most proficient Lord Brahma; who is ornamented by the hoods of Serpent Adi SheSha that appear like the Royal Umbrella; who is the subject of devotion for Divakara, Kaundinya and other great sages and who grants all luxury, wealth and comforts in life.

Sri Anantashayana Kshetra is presently known as Tiru Anantapuram and it is more popular as Trivandrum. This region is known as Anantavana in the Puranas. This place is about 51 miles from Kanyakumari.

Inside the fort, on the right side, there is a vast lake. A large statue of Lord Sri Padmanabha resting on Adishesha adorns the sanctum sanctorum. It is said that the statue of Sheshashayana Anantapadmanabha at Trivandrum is the largest one in the world. The right hand of the Lord is lying on a Shiva Linga. Only the face is seen from the first door, the naval from the middle or the second door and the feet from the third door. Having Darshan of the feet of the Lord from the third door is considered to be equal to having the Darshan of the entire statue.

The greatness and sacredness of this temple finds mention in Brahmandapurana, Mahabharata and other Puranas or Epics. Earlier, a devotee of Lord Vishnu by name Divakara was doing penance here to have the Darshan of the Lord. After a few years, Sri Narayana came to him in the guise of a charming young boy and started living with Divakara. However, it never occurred to the mind Divakara that the boy was none other than the Almighty. One day, Lord Vishnu in the guise of a Brahmin Boy, told Divakara that if he wanted to have his (Lord’s) Darshan, he should go to Anantavana. It then occurred to the mind of Divakara that the boy was Lord Sri Vishnu. He went in search of the boy, calling his name as “Ananta”. He came across a dense forest, where he saw a temple dedicated to a goddess called Shasta and another temple of Sri Krishna. Both these temples are now in the premises of Sri Anantapadmanabha Temple. When Divakara came there, he saw a boy entering into a hole in a large tree. Divakara ran towards the tree but before he could reach there, the tree fell on the ground. For Divakara, the fallen tree appeared like Sheshashayana Sri Anantapadmanabha. That statue of Sri Anantapadmanabha was 12 miles long. The face of the Lord was three miles away and the feet nine miles away.

Later, Divakara Muni built a temple and got the statue of Lord Anantashayana Padmanabha carved out of the fallen tree in the same way as he had seen it and worshipped it. With the passage of time, in the year 1049, when the statue had to be slightly altered, 12,000 Saligramas were kept inside the statue and the present statue of Padmanabha was created with a mix called Katusharkara Yoga. Recently, when the statue was washed, it came to light that a major part of the statue is in gold. Sri Vadirajaru has offered prayers to this Lord in this stanza.
