SUMMARY: A few of those who
opposed Agama feel that opaque or blank alone is the principle. Those
Buddhists, who are middle path treaders, are of two types namely perfect
blank-believers Shoonyavadis and prachchannashoonyavadis (perverted
blank-believers).
There is not much difference
between blank-believers and Mayavadis. This stanza deals with different
subcastes of Buddhism.

SUMMARY: The Prachchanna Budhists are second type
of Khalas, who argue that Vedas are non-principles; they call zero as Brahma
and claim themselves as philosophers.

SRI #MADHWAVIJAYAHA - DASHAMAHA SARGAHA SHLOKA 49 (56)
Thursday, 29 December 2022
SRI VADIRAJA VIRACHITA “TEERTHA PRABANDHA”
INTRODUCTION II
Sri
Vadirajaru had achieved great mystic powers through incessant penance,
meditation and strict obeisance. Sri Krishnadevaraya (1509-1529) and later
Achyutaraya (1530-1542), who ascended the prestigious throne of Vijayanagar
empire were highly devoted followers of Sri Vadirajaru. Arasappanayaka, who was the vassal ruler of
Soda, was highly obedient to Sri Vadirajaru. The then
scholars and distinguished intelligentsia had showered titles such as
Prasangabharanateertha, Shad-darshanashanmukha, Sarvajnakalpa, Kavikulathilaka
and so on.
Sri Vadirajaru altered the tenure of Paryaya system of offering Puja by each of the eight Mutts to Lord Krishna in Udupi from the erstwhile term of two months to two years. His disciple Sri Vedavedyatirtharu had attained premature old age. Although Sri Vadirajaru had to perform the puja as part of the Paryaya, he was so humble that he allowed his disciple to render the service to Lord Krishna. However, he utilised that Paryaya period for creating the temple of Sri Trivikramaraya and divine pond Dhavalaganga at Sonda.
Presently, Sri Raghavendra Swamy of Mantralaya and his Brindavan there, which he entered live, is a household name for several reasons. Sri Raghavendra Swamy had displayed several acts of instant magic with his Saatwik power which he attained through sheer meditation, devotion and sane reasoning. These acts were necessitated by the fact that there were several atheists who challenged him and the existence of God and he had to silence them. Such acts of Mystic power or magical power and instances that are generally branded as “Pavadas” were displayed by Sri Vadirajaru, much before Sri Raghavendra Swamy. Apart from this, many years before Sri Raghavendra Swamy, Sri Vadirajaru entered the Brindavan live.
Sri Vadirajaru initiated several people in Koteshwar and surrounding places into Vaishnavism. Sri Kanakadasa, one of the most popular Dasas in Kannada literary world, was a contemporary of Sri Vadirajaru and both of them shared intimate moments in their life time. In fact, Sri Vadirajaru and Sri Vyasarajaru played a significant role in Sri Kanakadasa getting accredited as an elite Vaishnava Dasa. Both Sri Vadirajaru and Sri Vyasarajaru were the devotees of Lord Vishnu without any bias, suspicion or prejudice. They spread the tenets of Vishnava Culture, the principle of Dualism, the Dwaita philosophy as propounded by Sri Madhwacharyaru.
Although centuries have elapsed since Sri Vadirajaru entered the Brindavan at Sonda, hundreds of devotees throng Sonda to pay obeisance to the great saint, philosopher, poet and prophet of Dwaita philosophy Sri Vadirajaru.
Sri Vadirajaru has consecrated hundreds of Lingas at Dharmasthala, Sonda and other places, bearing testimony to his broad thinking and outstanding achievements. This act of Sri Vadirajaru has erased the wrong perception that followers of Dwaita Cult hate Shiva or Rudra.
Sri Vadirajaru was a devotee of Sri Hayagreeva, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The contribution of Sri Vadirajaru to the field of spiritual knowledge is immeasurable. Sri Surottama Tirtharu, who adored the Pontiff Seat of Bhandarkere Mutt and was a younger brother of Sri Vadirajaru befre attaining sainthood, has written commentaries on Yuktimallika and Pashandakhandana works of Sri Vadirajaru. His successor Sri Vedavedyaru, Sri Narayanacharyaru, who has rendered exemplary interpretation to Rugmineesha Vijaya and Teerthaprabandha of Sri Vadirajaru, and Sri Raghunathacharyaru, have all provided an insight into the life and achievements of Sri Vadirajaru.

SUMMARY: If the inherent qualities are treated as
separate and interconnected (Samavayaha), then please let us know whether their
adjectives (Aupadhikaha) are to be perceived as true or false? They will both
suffer from the above mentioned defect. It cannot be taken as a separate
doctrine like the doctrine of Illusion.
When all the qualities of the
Lord are treated as one and same or as synonyms, as extended adjectives, then
the fallacy of describing the Lord as possessing multiple skills, qualities,
knowledge becomes ambiguous, paradoxical and hence untenable. The Lord has all
the knowledge, all the qualities and is the origin of all qualities and
knowledge. However, he is not ‘affected’ by positive or negative qualities.

SUMMARY: The distinction between the Lord and his
knowledge and qualities expounded in the doctrine of Illusion also suffers from
the same fallacy as stated above and hence gets ruled out as unsustainable and
incongruous. Thus, it is conclusively established that the Almighty is
Omniscient, and Omnipotent.
What this stanza further elaborates is that it is
unacceptable to treat the Soul and the inherent qualities as separate from each
other. Lord Vishnu cannot be perceived as different from the qualities that he
is described with. It should also be understood with all conviction, faith,
belief and unsuspecting commitment that the Lord and the Souls of other beings,
including those of all other deities, are one and the same.

SUMMARY: If the differences among the unlimitied or
infinite qualities of Lord Vishnu are accepted, then the fallacy of
unsustainability occurs while attempting to establish the relationship and the
differences between the Lord and his infinite qualities. Since the management
of differences among the infinite qualities of the Lord is accepted, it is
clear that the Lord is an embodiment of infinite, inexorable qualities.
The system of Pluralistic Realism or Vaisheshika
school of philosophy, which is also referred to as atomism, say that the
differences between organs, qualities, action and the person related to that
action, persons of different castes and between the various daily-use goods is
Samavaya or universal or one and the same, which has been negated in this
stanza.
