SUMMARY: Sri Madhwacharyaru worshipped the Shalagrama and other statues with pure sandal paste; he offered fresh Tulsi (Basil) buds, heaps of flowers plucked from trees, creepers, on ground and in water and looked like an incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi. With such flowers and fresh Basil, Sri Madhwacharyaru worshipped Lord of Indira, Sri Hari.

In this stanza, the significance, inevitability to offer of Sandal paste, Basil and fresh flowers to the Lord as part of worship has been emphasised. Basil is symbolic of Goddess Tulasi and Mahalakshmi is the favourite Goddess of flowers.

SUMMARY: Hear from the face of the Knowledgeable or the Learned (Jnanis) the details related to seven types of rice (food) and worship the Lord, remembering him every now and then. Do not divulge this to dull headed persons; Sri Lakshmipati (Husband of Goddess Lakshmi) Narayana eats rice and hence he is called as Annada. He is Anna or rice or food as Anna is one of his names and he is Annada, one who gives Anna to every being.

The details of seven types of Rice or what is called as SaptAnna PrakaraNa are given in BruhadAraNyakOpanishat. A wonderful explanation related to this Saptaanna has been rendered by Sri Madhwacharyaru in his Bhashya or explanatory notes. According to that explanatory notes, Sri Hari created seven types of rice known as Manas or mind, VAk or speech, Prana or Lifebreath, Anna or rice, Bali or prey, Homa or sacrifice and Goksheera or the cow milk. Of them, he has kept Mind, Speech and Lifebreath or the sensory organs by himself. This is the reason why it is said that if a person surrenders these three types of rice to Him, he will accept them as Mahanaivedya and blesses the devotee. The fourth type of rice is the food that is consumed by all the animals. That is reserved for deities to consume. Therefore, if a person does not offer that fourth type of rice to deities but consumes it himself, then it is one of the most heinous sins, which is equal to stealing Devaswa and Brahmaswa or stealing the food reserved for deities and Brahma. Animal sacrifice and performance of Homa or sacrifices amounts to providing food to deities. Milk is the food of animals. This is the reason why the animals grow on the milk fed by their mothers. The seventh type is Goksheera or cows’ milk, which is the food all other beings. Anyone worshipping Sri Hari with the knowledge of this explanation, will never suffer from dearth of rice or food.

SUMMARY: At that time, a young woman with clean palms, came there holding a Kamandal filled with pure, cool water in which no face had been seen, was soft; was without any sort of smell; she had not tasted that water; she was standing in acorner, hesitant and with a sense of fear that her breath might touch the water surface.

This shloka explains how the water to be used for Agryodaka and anointment should brought. Agryam kam means Agryodaka or primary water. It is called primary water because the water will be used solely for anointment. The water to be used for anointment should clear, cool, pure and without any smell or taste. It is very important that in the water being carried for the anointment, no face should be reflected. No one should peep into that water. Nails should not be dipped into that water. Even human breath should not touch that water.

Bhavaprakashika puts it thus:

 Agandhamadyaktarasam sheetalam cha truShApaham|

अगन्धमव्यक्तरसं शीतलं च तृषापहम्।

‘Kam’ means water; ‘Karaka’ means Kalash; Panija means nail.

SUMMARY: The Shuklapaksha or the fortnight during which the appearance of Moon steadily increases till the Full Moon Day or the Paurnami, is praised by the astrologers, who know the speciality of Shukla and Krishna pakshas; with its purity, the Shuklapaksha shines so much that the Moon during Shuklapaksha looks as though he is jeering at the otherwise super-radiant Lotus; the Moon is adorned by deities with scars that are like elixir, by offering most fragrant flowers; Similarly, Sri Madhwacharyaru, who is highly respected and loved by deities as he is entirely reliant on the pure spiritual philosophy (Vaishnava theosophy), who could critically evaluate the superiority of the pure spiritual philosophy vis-a-visa other schools of spiritual thought; he (Sri Madhwacharyaru) filled the holy conch with most fragrant flowers which could make fun of the extraordinary brilliance and brightness of Holy Lotus because of its purity.

In this shloka, the traditional practice of worshipping the Kalash and conch has been explained.

‘Susurabhi sumanObhihi’ means with flowers that are distinctly fragrant.

SUMMARY: Sri Hari, himself an advertisement for four types of Anna or rice (food in general), is indeed the Rice for humans aas well as animals; he does not trouble his devotees, who worship with this sense of submission in the entire world; he would also drive across this vast ocean of worldly or family life and will provide the comfort of his Darshan to such devotees.

The Havis or ghee that is offered to deities in sacrifices should be offered by pronouncing “SwAhA”; the offerings to ancesotrs or deceased parents and grandparents should be done by pronouncing “SwadhA”. It is given in Bhagavata (4/1/48, 49, 61, 63) that SwAhA and SwadhA are the daughters of Daksha and Prasooti. SwAhA is the wife of Agni, the fire God and SwadhA is the wife of Pitru Devatas or ancestors.

SwAhA and SwadhA are two forms of the Almighty within the forms of Vasudeva and Sankarshana. For human beings, the Lord provides rice through his Pradyumna form while for animals, he provides rice in the form of grass and other things through his Aniruddha form.

It should also be understood that Swaha and Swadha are both names of Sri Hari. Swaha means one who consumes whatever belongs to himself and Swadha means one who is shelter for himself.

SUMMARY: We commit appropriate and inappropriate or sane and insane acts every day through Manas or mind, VAk or speech and Shareera or body; submission of all types of acts to Sri Narayahna, the intrinsic deity in Lord Sri Vayu, as Anna or rice or Naivedya, by pronouncing “Sri Krishnarpanamastu”, will please that kindest Lord as he receives them and protects us.

This is the Shloka everyone is supposed to chant at the end of all rituals and acts and so on. Another Shloka that conveys the same submission is as follows:

SUMMARY: Sri Poornaprajnaru, who was like Aditya, was appearing more radiant with the twelve symbols such as the Disc and Conch called Oordhwapundra, was an uncontrollable terror to antagonists of Lord Hari, shone like another apocalypse or Armageddon or the Great Deluge.

It is customary to wear twelve symbols with Gopi Chandan on the body, immediately after having bath. Gopi Chandan is said to be a kind of soil dust on which the Gopikas, the female devotees of Lord Krishna, danced to please him. Sri Madhwaru was wearing those twelve Oordhwapundras and each of them shone like separate Aditya. Together, they appeared like Dwadasha Adityas.

According to Smrutis, during the Great Deluge, all the twelve Suns rise together; since it is a part of the final destruction, the period would be very unpleasant for Tamoyogyas or those with Tamas Gunas.

Scriptures state that wearing Oordhwapundra provides radiation that is reminiscent of the Sun. They create fear in the heart of enemies.

SUMMARY: The people who had gathered there and saw the naturally charming, stately stature of Sri Poornaprajnaru, and his face that was like Full Moon, used to lift their two hands in salutation posture and hurriedly disperse to sideways as soon as he walked out, much before his disciples could announce aloud “leave way”, “leave the path”.

The people respected Sri Madhwacharyaru so much that there was no need for anyone to tell them to walk sideways and make way for him to walk through. It was a voluntary reverence that the stature of Sri Madhwaru was commanding.

SUMMARY: With the group of people collecting and spraying all the water that had fallen on the Earth after washing the lotus feet of Sri Madhwacharyaru, Goddess Earth was slightly dissatisfied but somehow tolerated it. Otherwise, how would she be considered or called synonymous of “Pardoning” (KShamA dharitree)?

It is indicated in this stanza that people were not leaving even a drop of water on the earth after washing the feet of Sri Madhwaru. They used to wear it on their head. Goddess Earth was upset with the fact that not a drop was left for her to wear. However, she tolerated it after seeing the reverence, devotion and compassion people had for Sri Madhwaru.

Goddess Earth is known as “Kshama” because she pardons people who do all sorts of unpleasant things on her and throw waste on her. If she were not so tolerant, then the wrath she could show would be highly destructive to people.
