SUMMARY: This does not indicate that Sri Madhwacharyaru was worshipping the Lord with different flowers only once every day. In the sacred temple of his body, was he not worshipping Lord Sri Hari, who was sitting in the lotus of his heart with the brightness of the precious diamond called Padmaraga, getting anointed with the water of the broadest zeal, zest and committed mind of high concentration and with eight types of flowers of sound emotions, always, without any break?

The flowers of emotion refer to worship offered with the combined force of heart and mind. There is no term to explain the word Manas in English and the words like heart and mind do not fully justify the meaning of Manas. The eight flowers of emotions comprise of ‘non-violence, truth, non-stealing, bachelorism (being virgin), non-acceptance of anything from anyone, internal and external purity (purity of heart, mind, action, thought and feelings), satisfaction and submission of everything without any self-imposed desire.

Bhavaprakashike mentions Bhavapushpa as: “AhimsA satyamastEyam brahmacharyAparigrahau shaucham, tuShTihi sarvasamarpaNamityaShTabhAvapuShpANi”|

In Bhavaprakashike, there is a mention of a chant with which Sri Bheemasena was worshipping the Lord:

SUMMARY: After worshipping Lord Naryana, Sri Madhwacharyaru applied the thick sandalwood paste on the shoulders and the navel; he wore a fragrant, calm and peaceful smile on his face; he was wearing soft loin clothe and was feast to the eyes of deities, Munis and human beings.

Application of sandalwood paste that is left after offering it to the Lord during the worship is adorable and advisable practice.

SaparyA means worship; ruchira means charming and kaushEya means Silk loin clothe.

This stanza also emphasises the fact that the very Darshan or sight of Sri Madhwacharyaru was a feast, holy and sacred thing for even deities.

SUMMARY: When the most intimate ally of Lotus, the Sun dawns on the horizon, the shadow spreads on the earth. When he disappears, they too disappear; all these three worlds are in his possession as he is there within Lord Vayu and other deities; providing space for the three worlds in his stomach, he shows all the actions to those who can or wish to see.

“Bisuruha” means Lotus and “BisuruhApta” means one who is intimate to Lotus, which means the Sun.

SUMMARY: Worshipped most importantly from all the three worlds, one who has the body that is embraced by the supreme arms of Mahalakshmi, self-originated, personification of comfort; possessing gold complexion; possessor of Golden Eagle as his special vehicle; one who grants fearlessness; whose brightness is more than the brightness of infinite Suns and Moons; who has no blemishes, Lord Sri Hari, grants fulfillment of all desires to those who salute him every day.

The word ‘AnantArkashashisannibha’ means the brightness of Lord Hari is infinitely more than infinite Suns and infinite Moons, which, symbolically, states that Sri Hari shelters all the cults, even if they outwardly appear to be contradictory to worshipping him as the Supreme Lord.

As “AnantArkasannibha” he gives trouble to wicked people and as ‘Anantashashisannibha’, he bestows peace of mind and happiness to his devotees.

SUMMARY: Learning about the Pratahsavana (cultural practices specified to be performed during morning), Maadhyamdinasavana (practices prescribed for noon/afternoon) and Sayamasavana (prescribed for evening) from the knowledgeable, thinking of three forms of Lord Hari called Pradyumna, the consort of Lakshmi in the form of Kruti, Sankarshana, the consort of Lakshmi in the form of Jaya and Vasudeva, consort of Lakshmi in the form of Maya, who are present in Vasu, Rudra and Aaditya and shimmer gleefully in Mukhyaprana, one should offer the days as sacred offerings and worship the Lord and be happy.

The life span of human beings is one hundred and sixteen years. These years are divided into three parts as Pratahsavana, Madhyandinasavana and Sayamsavana for which Vasus, Rudras and Adityas are favorite deities and in those deities, Lord Vayu exists and within Lord Vayu Lord Hari is present in three forms namely Pradyumna, Sankarshana and Vasudeva, respectively. The days or whatever one does during each day should be surrendered to the Lord as an offering and enjoy the life in that sense.

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:

अगन्धमव्यक्तरसं शीतलं च तृषापहम्।

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.
