SUMMARY: What is the benefit of life if one does not eternally remember with devotion and affection the birth or origin and acts of Lord Srinivasa and place them in various places of the body in the respective forms related to different names of Sri Hari? What is the use of merely seeing or reading scriptures? What is the good of telling or singing? What is the benefit of doing anything on a daily basis.

In the Gita, Lord Krishna says:

Janma karma cha mE divyamEvam yO vEtti tattatwaha|

TyaktwA dEham punarjanma naiti mAmEti nO(s)rjuna||Gita 4/9||

जन्म कर्म च मॆ दिव्यमॆवं यॊ वॆत्ति तत्त्वतः।

In Jayanteekalpa, it is mentioned as:

SUMMARY: This is not pure poetry spelt with the power of wisdom or education; I am not a human being practicing good principles, who has acquired the knowledge from well-informed and highly knowledgeable persons. I have spelt the words as prompted by Madhwavallabha Sri Hari, who is in my heart; the knowledgeable may listen to them without paying attention to any errors or defects.

In this stanza, Sri Jagannatha Dasaru is critical of ego or self-boasting and has emphasized that the principles or nors of philosophy is acquired only through accomplished scholars and no literary work is created on the strength of bookish knowledge or wisdom.

This is like the summary of the following stanza from Bhavasangraha:

Na shabdAbDhau gADhA na cha nigamacharchAsu chaturA

Na cha nyAyE prauDhA na cha viditavEdyA api vayam|

Param shreematpUrNapramatigurukAruNyasaraNim

prapannA mAnyAha smaha kimapi cha vadantO(s)pi  mahatAm||

न शब्दाब्धौ गाढा न च निगमचर्चासु चतुरा

न च न्यायॆ प्रौढा न च विदितवॆद्या अपि वयम्।

फरं श्रीमत्पूर्णप्रमतिगुरुकारुण्यसरणिम्

परं श्रीमत्पूर्णप्रमतिगुरुकारुण्यसरणिं

प्रपन्ना मान्याः स्मः किमपि च वदन्तॊsपि महताम्॥

This is not say that this is the poetry produced without the background or strength of wisdom and education. However, wisdom and education alone are not the only tools of creating poetry.

This is further elaborated in Madhwamrutamaharnava:

‘AsmrutwA praThamam madhwam VAsudEvam smarEdDhiyaha|

NiShPhalam tu BhavEt tachcha vanDhyAstreemaiThunam yaThA||’

’अस्म्टुत्वा प्रथमं मध्वं वासुदॆवं स्मरॆद्धियः।

निष्फलं तु भवॆत् तच्च वन्ध्यास्त्रीमैथुनं यथा॥मध्वामृतमहार्णव॥

It is only because Lord Hari has made me say these words that this poetry is without mistakes. Therefore, the knowledgeable should listen to them with full attention and focus.

Similar views are mentioned in Bhagavata too.

SUMMARY: Why should there be any room for misery in the presence of Padmatirtha and others, who possess that knowledge preached by Shankaracharyaru (Advaita), which is like the knowledge of Shukracharya that provides even the deities with misleading knowledge through assertion and puts the mentor of deities Bruhaspatyacharya too to shame?

This stanza throws light on the fact that some people believed that Advaita scholars like Padmatirtha would save them from getting influenced by the highly meaningful explanations that the followers of Sri Madhwaru were professing.

Shaukree means the knowledge practices and preached by Shukracharya consisting of black magic and related inauspicious branches of knowledge.

SUMMARY: There is no worry even if it is impossible to establish Advaita philosophy in the face of stiff opposition from the virtuous philosophy that could not be criticized or condemned; being under the protection from this Padmatirtha and others that comprised of Six Karmas, most effective hymns and medicines, none can ever vanquish us.

In this stanza, it is clear that the Mayavada followers were more reliant on hymn-based medicinal system than perfect, most sensible and meaningful philosophy of principles.

The six karmas or ShaTkarma are: peace, subordination, stagnation, enmity, banishment and killing. Peace means the method of curing diseases that are created through black magic; Vashya or subordination is hypnotism; stagnation is arresting the habits; VidwEsha or hatred or enmity means creating enmity and taking revenge; UchchATana or banishment is banishing someone from the country or place of residence; MAraNa or killing means murdering or assassination. Rati, VANi, RamA, JyEShTha, Durga and Kali are the deities ruling these branches of knowledge, in that order; North-east, north, east, south-east, north-west and south-east are favourable directions for these actions in that direction. Ten Ghaliges beginning from sunrise are the best timings for these actions. Of the six Ritus namely Vasanta, GreeShma, VarShA, Sharat, Hemanta and Shishira Ritus Hemanta is good for Shantikarma or action for peace; Vasantha is good for hypnotism; Shishira Ritu is good for StamBhana; Greeshma is for Vidweshana; Varsharitu is for Uchchatana and Sharadritu for Marana or killing.

Sharada Tilaka and commentaries on Sharada Tilaka provide wide ranging explanations for all these actions, times or months or seasons that are specifically best for these actions and so on.

SUMMARY: What is the good of someone taking a dip in any water he or she comes across and what is the good of someone always carrying a Kamandal and a stick to exhibit that he is a saint? Unless a man thinks of the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari, who is sitting on the shoulders of Garuda, with devotion, faith and conviction, night and day, like a bee that is full of concentration, he cannot find happiness in anything.

This stanza asserts that mechanical meditation, worship, cold bath, starvation etc., without devotion to Lord Hari is futile since the Lord does not pay attention to means or methods of devotion but exact devotion and submission to the Lord.

Sri Madhwacharya in his Gitabhashya summarizes this:

‘RAgadvEShau yadi syAtAm tapasA kim prayOjanam|

TAvuBhau yadina styAtAm tapasA kim prayOjanam||10/42||’

’रागद्वॆषौ यदि स्यातां तपसा किम् प्रयॊजनम्।

तावुभौ यदि न स्यातां तपसा किं प्रयॊजनम्॥10/42॥

Andaja means bird and AndajADhipa means Garuda, the king of birds; Amsaga means one who is sitting on the shoulders and hence AndajADhipanamsaga means Sri Hari, whose vehicle is Garuda.

Aharnishi or night and day means round the clock or eternally, which symbolically means that Garuda monitors time. (KAlAtmakaha sO(s)pi suparNa aaseet – Mahabharata Tatparya NirNaya {कालात्मकः सॊsपि सुपर्णा आसीत्}

The expression “taking dip in any water” symbolically means “following any other deity or cult” because “water” also means Shastra or cult.

SUMMARY: What is the good of a person keenly studying Vedas and Shastra if such a person does not discard desires and anger? What is the good of that person if he goes on preaching them? What is the good of discarding the insane deeds and adopting sane deeds? What if he sacrifices food and water and controls the breath?

Any knowledge, any study of any Shastra or cult, adherence to any sort of strict way of life turns out to be futile if the person does not overcome the ego and pride.

’ShwAsa nirODha’ refers to PrANAyAma or an exercise related to controlling the breath. “vOdana” means rice and other food items.

SUMMARY: It is not appropriate to say this elaborately; at this juncture when our cult/philosophy is facing the biggest threat, the pupils of Sri Madhwa are swiftly and willfully covering the entire univer like the water of Great Deluge occupies the entire universe during the catastrophe.

“UktwA Khalu” means there is no need to say anything – na vaktavyam| “alanKhalvOho pratiShEDhayOho prAchAm ktwA iti” (Bhava Prakashika); न वक्तव्यं। “अलंखल्वॊः प्रतिषॆधयॊः प्राचांक्त्वा इति।भाव प्रकाशिका।

SUMMARY: Hearing the words of such a person, another wicked person, who knew the wishes of followers or fans, who was self-adoring, pronounced some words boldly and in a loud and clear voice, only to please his fellow followers.

SUMMARY: Down with these cowards who melt like this by mere thoughts of fire; it appears the fresh butter that melts only when it gets in contact with steady flame of fire.

This is a criticism of the followers of mysticism or Mayavada who had started floundering and fearing with mere thoughts about the followers of Sri Madhwaru. They had not yet come in contact with the followers of Sri Madhwaru.

Haiyangaveenam means fresh butter.

The character of fresh butter is to melt only when it is in contact with fire, not when the fire is spelt in front of it; but, the followers of Mayavada were symbolically ‘melting’ by merely remembering or imagining about the followers of Sri Madhwaru.
