After finishing a stupendous ^Hampi Yaatra^, Blessed with “The Most” Grandest
Darshan of *Yantrodhaaraka Mukya Praana^ and after visualizing the Holiness and
Grace of *Nava Brundavana^, our group comprising of ‘Aajanma Raayara Baktas’
hailing from both *Vyaasa Koota^ and *Daasa Koota^ hegemonies re-started our
journey towards the “Ultimate” destination of ^^Pandarpur^^ and in due course arrived at
^Panchamukhi^ en route to the Holy Pilgrim Center of ^^Mantralaya^^!

Before commencement of the journey, noted Vyaasa Koota scholars performed
Mangalaarathi to the Epic [[Sarva Moola]] of *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^ with
utmost reverence accompanied by the thunderous ovations of “HARI SARVOTAMA
VAYU JEEVOTAMA”!! Auspicious notes of “Shankanaadha” arising from tens and
scores of huge conch shells accompanied by heart thudding beats of the famed “Nagaari”
drums filled the air in all directions, thereby flagging off our journey towards
^^MANTRALAYA^^!
Most auspicious & full throated cheers echoed in all directions!! -------

“Karu Naadu” literally meaning “Lofty Land” tucked away deep inside peninsular
southern India, that is Bhaartha, has been known from Time Immemorial as the Land
famed for its adherence to the principles tenets of Dharma. Coincidentally, “Karu Naadu”
is most befitting encircled by most famous beacons of Dharma, Ever!! For here in this
land, *Lord Sreenivaasa^ is Viraajmaan at ^^Tirumala Kshethra^^ towards the immediate
South, *Lord Krishna^ is Viraajmaan at ^Ûdipi^^ towards the immediate West, *Lord
Panduranga Vittala^ is Viraajman towards the immediate North and also the presence of
the ^^Moola Brundaavana^^ of *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ at
^^Mantralaya^^ towards the immediate East, with the combined Omnipresence of
*Rama, Krishna, Narasimha and Veda Vyaasa^!
All those fortunate enough to traverse through this hinterland, similar to our group with
members hailing from both *Vyaasa Koota^ and *Daasa Koota^, at this Time of the
Year, could not but marvel at the bounty of Nature’s largesse! The on time onset of the
seasonal great Indian Monsoon had indeed transformed entire barren landscapes into
huge swathes of green meadows pearl carpeted with millions of tiny dew drops each
reflecting the first golden rays of sunshine of Dawn! Hundreds of country peasants taking
advantage of Nature’s bounty busied themselves with sowing operations that were being
carried out in full swing! Rural children in their hundreds swam in frenzied abandon in
thousands of tiny ponds that were now fully of fresh life sustaining water, even as lazy
eyed country buffaloes wallowed in the comfort of watery mud baths, thoroughly
unmindful of cattle egrets perched on its backs enjoying a joy ride! Hundreds of wild
ducks quacked about in small ponds utterly oblivious of its surroundings! Tens of tiny
tributary rivulets drained into the Holy River Tungabhadra even as ‘She’ surged ahead
with full force of millions of gallons of fresh life sustaining water! Every major reservoir
in the area, full to the brim, erased grim memories of acute scarcity of water and severe
drought and its incumbent hardships faced earlier bringing joy to the hearts of both the
governing and the governed! The latent power of enormous quantities of surplus water
contained in all dams and reservoirs was now being unleashed and re-converted into
electricity for the benefit of a power starved Sate! It seemed as though Nature was most
eager to celebrate the Annual Araadhana of *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ at
Mantrayala!

Such an uncommon scenario also hovered around the small village known as ‘Gandhaala’
where the famous ^^Panchamukhi^^ Shrine is situated! Even at that early hour, the air
was thick with the scent of freshly pounded millets and Raagi being cooked in several
hearths in tiny makeshift huts! The impatient mooings of milch cows and buffaloes
tethered to makeshift wooden pegs echoed all round! Everywhere in this unforgiving
rocky terrain one could see huge puddles of water populated by millions of tiny frogs
each advertising its own occupancy with ceaseless croaking! Millions upon millions of
insect life taking advantage of such Nature’s aplenty busied themselves in stowing away
for harsher days! Even as our group motored towards ^^Panchamukhi ^^ in the mild glare
of pre-dawn, hundreds of fire flies zoomed in on the bright ‘Devatigey’ (Fire Torch) that
was held aloft by our advance party, even as the enormous vista of the main
^^Panchamukhi^^ Shrine came into view!
Anjaneya Varada Govinda Govinda
Unannounced arrival of ultra orthodox *Vyaasa Koota^ scholars and *Hari Daasas’^ at
Gandhaala village at pre-dawn created a mini commotion of sorts with unlettered village
folk milling around our vehicle in heightened state of curiosity! Nevertheless, this
curiosity was soon transformed into an effervescent state of helpfulness and gratitude
once they came to know that we were a part of a devotional group headed towards
^^Manchale^^ to participate in the Araadhana Mahotsava of *Sreemadh Raghavendra
Theertharu^! Indeed, the forefathers of these simple country folk abounding at
^^Panchamukhi^^ would have been contemporaries of the Holy Pontiff *Sreemadh
Raghavendra Theertharu^ and a few fortunate ones’ amongst them would have even
‘Served’ the Holy Pontiff, first hand!

^^Panchamukhi^^ shrine set in a backdrop of unscalable rock faces encircled by
numerous small hillocks all along, is truly a divine place for prolonged periods of
meditation, though the place becomes quite crowded especially during the ‘Amavaasya’
period. Here, *Mukhya Pranaru^ can be Seen in “A Five Faced Posture” not found
anywhere else! Thus the awesome visage of *Mukhya Pranaru^ can be Seen thus –
towards East that of *Mukhya Prana^, towards south that of *Narasimha^, towards west
that of *Garuda^ and towards north that of *Varaha^ and towards the centre that of
*Hayagreeva^! Also, the *Panchamuki Idol^ can be seen carrying different weapons of
war each in one hand, the principle one amongst them being Trident, Sword, Snare and
Mace! Also other auspicious items such as a miniature Tree, and a miniature Mountain
can also be noticed on closer scrutiny! Indeed, it was here in this most Holiest of Holy
Sanctum, that *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ Meditated in for great periods of
Time! The Five symbolic forms of *Mukhya Pranaru^ each corresponds to granting of
the following five good fortunes to devotees. Thus, while *Mukhya Pranaru^ Grants all
round wellbeing, *Narasimha^ Grants freedom from all types of fears, *Garuda^ Grants
freedoms from serpents and poisons, *Varaaha^ Grants freedom from all types of
diseases and *Hayagreeva^ Annihilates all forms of demonic forces while Granting True
Knowledge at the same time!
Anjaneya Varada Govinda Govinda
Members of our devotional group trooped single file, slowly climbing precariously steep
and slippery stone steps carved on the rock face and entered the main sanctum of
^^Panchamukhi^^. Here, in the semi daze, natural light seeps in through a two foot
crevice carved out of the rock face creating a heavenly ambience! Each one of us on our
part propitiated in front of the Lord’s most awesome devotee and prayed that our next leg
of journey towards ^^Manchaley^^ would indeed totally fructify with the grandest of
Darshan of the Moola Brundavana of *Sreemadh Ragahvendra Theertharu^! Obesiance
was also paid to a miniature Brundavana placed deep inside the Sanctum! Then
‘Aarathi’was performed with Camphor pellets placed in a silver plate with utmost grace
by the officiating priest inside the sanctum. Here at ^^Panchamukhi^^ each one of our
group members observed meditation by chanting on the ‘Pranava’ that seemed to connect
the innards of our very Soul with the Infinte Cosmos, yonder! Next, before heading
towards ^^Manchaley^^, veteran *Vyaasa Koota^ scholars read out the Invocation
Stanzas from the [[Guru Paramparey ]] while the rest parrotted the same with utmost
devotion and awe!! Obeisance was also paid to the [[ Holy Madhwa Texts ]] stacked in
the Sanctum in moderate piles by all those assembled there. Very soon the first rays of
rising sun reflecting off the close bound bundles of [[ Madhwa Texts ]] began to give off
‘Luminous Light’ symbolizing the Eternity of True Knowledge as enshrined in [[ Tatva
Vaada ]] of *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^ !

Motoring down from ^^Panchamukhi^^ on poorly tarred roads at a very slow pace we
were now in sight of the famed pilgrim Centre of ^^Mantralaya^^ which wore a festive
atmosphere due to the ensuing Maha Araadhana Mahotsava of *Sreemadh Raghavendra
Theertharu^! The entire templex complex was festooned with fresh mango leaves, banana
fronds, rows and rows of fresh flower garlands and a myriad of twinkling electric bulbs
transforming the area into a Paradise on Earth!! A sea of humanity using every available
means of transport had already preceded us to ^^Mantralaya^^, heeding to an unseen
inward call to have a Darshan of the ^^Moola Brundavana^^ of *Sreemadh Raghavendra
Theertharu^. This ever surging devotion of millions of devotees stands as a veritable
challenge to all those who deny the Existence of the Supreme Being!!
Such was the eagerness to set foot on the Holy Soil of ^^Mantralaya^^, that most of us
jumped off our automobile even before it could come to halt!! The Indian Monsoon had
ensured pletinful supply of water and by now the River Tungabhadra flowed fully
eastward with a great sense of urgency! Most dutifully our group memebers took bath in
the ‘now clear’ – ‘now muddy’ waters of the Holy River and after the customary
‘Sankalpa’ began proceeding towards the Main Shrine for the impending Darshan! A
‘Paada Pooja’ was also performed on veteran *Vyaasa Koota^ scholars and *Hari
Daasas^ by junior members in our retinue with utmost respect and devotion! After what
seemed to be an Eternity we were now inside the quaint little ^^Manchalamma Shrine^^
for the Darshan of Goddess Durga, the Patron Goddess of the Saint of Mantralaya!
Devoted women folk in our group began singing most auspicious songs in favor of the
Mother Goddess and we all bowed to Her after a ‘Mangalaarathi’ was performed, seeking
Her Eternal Permission to visit the most sacred of all Shrines! Many most auspicious
items such as ‘Kum Kum’, Turmeric powder, set of bangles, small mirror, combs, sarees
with other assortments of chosen fruits and betel nuts were offered to the Goddess by
elderly women folk of our group soon after completion of ‘Kumkumaarchaney’ in favor
of the Goddess!
Next, the very sight of the ^^Gopuram^^ at the Main Shrine at ^^Mantralaya^^ sent our
by now most impatient team members’ into raptures of pure unadulterated spiritual joy!
Ultra Orthodox *Vyaasa Koota^ scholars utterly disregarding their advanced age,
carrying with them bundles of [[Madhwa Holy Texts]] and Holy Saligrama in boxes
tightly wrapped in deer skin, accompanied by equally venerable *Hari Daasas^ carrying
with them an assortment of auspicious musical instruments, rushed headlong towards the
^^Moola Brundaavana^^ of *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ with full throated roars
of “Yathigaley Yathigaley!”, “Swaamigaley Swaamigaley!” “Dodaa Buddhigaley
Dodda Buddhigaley!”, “Dhanigaley Dhanigaley!” “Gurugaley Gurugaley”(!!)
(Kan.)!
The melodiously familiar sounds given off from the jingle of tens and scores of tiny bells
tied to the feet of the swiftly running *Haridaasas^ were similar to the sounds of tiny
bells tied to the necks of stampeding herds of cows rushing blindly towards the direction
of the Sounds of The Divine Flute being Played by *Lord Krishna^ Himself! Indeed,
such wanton spiritual exertions resembled the untying of day old calves from their tethers
and matched the relentless speeds’ with which the same calves’ would run towards its
Mother (Kamadhenu)! This sudden influx of highly excited devotees rushing towards the
Main Sanctum, for a while created a big commotion, and nearly startled the huge Temple
Pachyderm (Elephant) that stood nobly greeting the devotees! The startled elephant
immediately began trumpeting in a high pitch, that only added more enthusiasm to the
devotees rushing towards the Moola Brundaavana of *Sreemadh Raghavendra
Theertharu^! The earth shattering drum beats being played nonstop by groups of
drummers from Dakshina Kannada district enabled the spiritual meele to rise to a
crescendo! Batches of devotees who had arrived from western Maharastra performed the
famous ‘Lezim’ dance with great skill and received thunderous ovation from one and all!
Hundreds of devotees were engaged in performing ‘Urulu Seva’ around the Parikrama
with heightened states of devotional fevor!
Frenzied Roars’ of “PrahlaadaVaradaGovindaGovinda” and

“RajaadhiRaajaGuruSaarvabhoumaGovindaGovinda!!!” rent the air in all directions
even as excited devotees rushed towards the Main Sanctum in all eagerness for a Darshan
of the ^^Moola Brundaavana^^ of *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^! An all
encompassing urgency of “JUST BEING THERE” overriding every other physical and
material discomfort!! A further proof of the showcasing of the enormous powers
enshrined in the ^^Moola Brundavana^^ in lieu of the 1008 Maha Vishnu Saaligraama
Shila present therein! And a further validation about the alleviation of every
shortcomings of all those who come in search of solace at the Holy Feet of *Sreemadh
Raghavendra Theertharu^! Meanwhile, the *Senior Pontiff^ in an adjoing Mantap had
already begun honouring brilliant Vedic scholars’ of high repute who had dedicated their
entire life times to the dispersion of [[ Madhwa Saastras]] and also feted noted musicians
and instumentalists, who were all presented with the titles of Aasthaana Vidwans of the
Sree Mutt!
Soon our devotional group found ourselves standing before the grandly decorated and
awesome Idol of *Pranadevaru^ conscecrated by none other than *Yogeendra
Theertharu^ and bowed before the same with utmost devotion!!
“Raama Nilladhey Hanumaneylli Hanumanilladhey Raamayelli

Raama Hanumara Smaraneyalli Kulithiharu Guru Raayarilli
Brundavanadalli Mantralayadhalli !” (Kan.)
Invocation of *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ as found in the

O! Yathi Raghavendra, Your Unmatched Literary Style through Which You have Extolled
the Infinite Virtues of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna in such a precisely conscise manner,
is really not at all surprising to Vedic Scholars !! For, did not Sage Agasthya collect the
Seven Seas in His Vessel and swallowed the same in one single sip!!

Soon after our devotional group moved towards the ^^Moola Brundaavana^^ of
*Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^. What a towering sight to behold! Each one of us
bowed down full length before the ^^Moola Brundavana^^ gleaming in a “Holy Blue”
hued color with the bejewelled Icon of *Lakshmi Narasimha^ on Top! All of us just
stood with dry throats full of emotion bursting at the seams! After what seemed to be an
eternity we slowly performed ‘Pradakshina’ to the ^^Moola Brundavana^^ thrice in a
single file manner! I lagged behind my group and stood reluctantly transfixed in front of
the ^^Moola Brundaavana^^ and finally bowed down full length before the same and
stayed that way for some time! Next, our group memebers collectively prayed that may
“ShreeGurugalu” be much Pleased with all our individual Sevas’ and Grant us all the
required intellect that would enable allof us to study and understand the Holy Works of [[
AnuVyakhyaana ]], [[Sreeman Nyaaya Sudha]] and [[ Parimala]], in the Divine Vicinity
of *Panduranga Vittala^ at ^^Pandarpur^^!! As before at ^^Tirumala^^, noted *Vyaasa
Koota^ scholars once again placed their own individual Commentaries on [[ Madhwa
Philosophy ]] most reverentially in front of the ^^Moola Brundaavana^^ and prayed for
pardon from any unwanton mistakens that might have crept in on account of ignorance.
Indeed, there is no other better Evaluator of [[ Madhwa Texts]] than the Holy Pontiff,
GURU *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^!!

Jgnaanavannu Kottarey Avanu (Krishna) Kodabeyku, Ivara moolakavey (Raayara)
Kodisabeyku! (Kan.), was the common refrain amongst budding scholars of our
group!
Accompanying noted *Vyasa Koota^ scholars on this pilgrimage was indeed a golden
period in an otherwise ordinary existence! In line with the Kannada adage “Hoovu
Jotheghey Naaru Swargakkey”, some of the Knowledge nuggets must have ineed
rubbed off on me too during this trip!! Indeed, the Omnipresence of *Shree Rama^,
*Shree Krishna^, Narasimha and *Baghwan Veda Vyaasa^ in the ^^Moola
Brundaavana^^ is a foregone conclusion! For, it is through the Omnipresence of *Shree
Rama^, that the never ending disbursement of food offerings to the needy is taking place!
It is through the Omnipresence of Shree Krishna that the never ending disbursement of
good tidings and well being offered by the enjoyment of full familial pleasures to the
devotees is taking place! It is through the Omnipresence of Narasimha that is enabling
the eradication of all sorts of fears and freedom from torments of all strains of diseases is
taking place! It is through the Omnipresence of Baghwan Veda Vyaasa that a ceaseless
disbursement of righteous Knowledge is taking place!
The famed [[Raghavendra Stotra]] was by now being recited continously by at least one
lakh devotees, heralding the commencement of the much awaited ‘MahaAbhisheka’ to
the ^^Moola Brundaavana^^ on *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ on the
“Madhyaaradhana Day”! Very soon, we were all transported into the very realms of
spiritual bliss on witnessing the famed MahaAbhisheka to the ^^Moola Brundaavana^^,
followed by a truly befitting MahaMangalaarathi in golden plates! This year, a very well
known person ‘very much dear’ to our devotional group was choosen to perform the
Maha Abhisheka and Vastraabharana to the ^^Moola Brundavana^^ of *Sreemadh
Raghavendra Theertharu^! This caused much celebration amongst our group members!
Indeed, each one of us envied that worthy devotee for this great fortune so enabled on
account of ‘Special Blessings’ of the Holy Pontiff Himself! The spontaneous cheers from
all those assembled in the Sanctum easily surpassed every other sound by many decibels,
notwithstanding the whirring sounds coming from innate Television cameras, invading
one of the most Holiest of all Holy Sanctum! A sad reminder of the advent of modernity
and inevitable March of Time!
In due course, our group members stood with utmost respect in front of the Moola
Brundavana of *Vaadeendra Theertharu^ for a while all the while wondering about the
Genius of this particular Pontiff who had outshone many other *Pontiffs’^ in the same
lineage simply on account of His Scholastic brilliance, all the more so, since He was the
Most Blessed by none other than *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^! Then, later in the
day, even as the *Senior Pontiff^ Performed the famed “Samsthaana Pooja”, the
ritualistic worship of the Icons of the Sree Mutt culminating in a Truly Grand
Kanakaabhisheka of *Sreeman Moola Rama Devaru^, we could not but count ourselves
lucky to have come this far and witnessed such Sanctity and Holiness! The much
cherished memory of having earlier received the Holy ‘Panchagavya’,
‘TaptaMudradhaaraney’ and ‘Phala Mantraakshatey’ and the unmatchable PARIMALA
PRASADA in the Sanctum of the Sree Mutt, was indeed worthwhile the strains of this
pilgrimage!!

It is well known that the Holy Pontiff *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ once on His
visit to ^Ûdipi^^ Had Offered His Famous Works, being [[TantraDeepika]] &
[[NyaayaMuktaavali]] on the BramhaSutras ; [[Prakaasha]] on the [[Chandrika]] of
*Vyaasa Theertharu^ and [[ Parimala ]] on the [[Sreeman Nyaaya Sudha]] at the Lotus
feet of *Sree Krishna^ at ^Ûdipi^^. Also in order to commomerate such offerings to the
Lord, the Holy Pontiff *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ Had Himself Handcrafted
an Icon of *Santhaana Krishna^ and placed it inside the Sanctum at ^Ûdipi^^ and
offered Worship to the same! This same Icon was later drafted amongst other Icons and is
being worshipped by successive Pontiffs! In lieu of this, from then on thousands of
devotees and disciples have been at the receiving end of manifold favors from this Icon!
Also, noted scholars agree that after *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ performed the
“Grantha Samarpaney” at the Lotus Feet of *Lord Krishna^ at ^Ûdipi^, indeed, so
Pleased was the Lord with this effot, that the literary output of the Holy Pontiff nearly
doubled culminating in numerous Commentary elucidations on all most all Holy Works
of *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^!! The much famed Kannada song composition “Indhu
Yenaghey Govinda…..” probably must have also been Penned at ^Ûdipi^^, since the
Holy Pontiff’s ‘Pen Name’ of “Dheera Venugopala” appears at the end of this
Composition, a rarity not seen in any other Composition!
During late mid afternoon our devotional group members accepted Tirtha/Prasadams with
utmost devotion and felt truly blessed after it was over! How can anyone hope to
elaborate the merits of such a Tirtha/Prasaadams of Mantralayadha Prabhugalu on the
Madhyaaradhana Day? It is well nigh imposible, to say the least! Our devotional group
also paid a silent salutation to the series of ^^Guru Brundavanas^^ abutting the
‘Ashwatha Vruksha’ acknowledging the feats and achievements of ‘Rayaru’s most
eminent followers! Later, veteran *Vyaasa Koota^ scholars’ visited the Guru
Saarvabhouma Sanskrit Vidyapeeta for reviving old memories of student days spent in
the famed portals of this Gurukula, started by eminent *Pontiffs^ of yore! Before
departing for ^^Pandarpur^^ for the last leg of our spiritual journey our group members
visited an important Shrine of *Sreenivaasa Devaru^ Worshipped by none other than
*Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^! The Holy Pontiff during His Sojourn at
^^Manchaley^^ had built a small Shrine for *Lord Venkateshwara^ and offered Worship
to the same! Due to the passage of Time this shrine had degenerated! Fortunately, the
same Shrine has now been resurrected with the addition of a new Sanctum with a grand
Gopuram in place! Even the main Idol has been carefully refurbished with the additions
of the Idols of Sreedevi and Boodevi on either side! Finally, our Yaatra culminated with
the “Grand Spectacle” of the processions of Golden and Silver Chariot with the Idol of
*Prahlaada Raajaru^! This was indeed a sight to behold, transporting the lakhs of
devotees who followed the Chariots into Realms of the Divine! In line with a most
popular Composition rendered below, the *Holy Pontiff^, *Sreemadh Raghavendra
Theertharu^ Goes on a Victory Parade on Golden Chariot ONLY for the sake of His
devotees and unceasingly PLEADS with the *Lord^ to redeem hapless devotees by re-
writing their fate!

By an amazing coincidence our devotional group was soon accosted by another similar
group that had arrived from the ^^Varadendra Theertha Muttt^^ -- ^^Pune^^. These
sturdy Mahrata devotees some with plain white triangular caps and others with bright red
Petas’ (Kan.) tied over their heads were overjoyed when they learnt that we were
continuing our journey towards ^^Pandarpur^^ and readily agreed to accompany us
towards our ultimate destination! Finally when our spiritual caravan set off towards our
next destination, our “Flag Ship” vehicle was that of the Mahrata devotees from
^^Pune^^ who led the way towards ^^Pandarpur^^, with the Saffron Flag the “Baghwa
Jandha” fluttering proudly atop each vehicle! Cheers of ‘VITTALA AAHEY’
‘VITTALA AAHEY’ coming from our Mahraata brigade leading us towards
^^Pandarpur^^, boomed loudly in our eardrums, even as we all raised our hands high
above our heads in unision and joined in as a chorus!
“OM SHREE RAGHAVENDRAAYA NAMAHA” being rendered a million times

brimmed over from the souls of each and every devotee with utmost gratitude even as we
bid an emotional farewell to the Saint of Mantralaya! At Sunset the entire Sky right upto
the distant Horizon was now transformed into bright orange colour mimicking the
“Parama Paavana Madi Vastra” draped over the ^^Moola Brundavana^^ of
*Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^! It seemed as though the Holy Pontiff, too, was
accompanying us for a rendezvous with PANDURANGA AND RUKUMAAYI, on the
banks of River Bheema, at ^^PANDARPUR^^!!

[[ KRISHNAKATHAAMRUTHASAARA ]] -- An Attempted Impromptu Line

Summary on the [[SreeKrishnachaaritraManjari]] of *Sreemadh Raghavendra
Theertharu^
TWO Glorious [[Holy Works]] of *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^, being the [[

Krishnaamrutha Maharnava]] and [[Jayanthi Nirnaya]], extracted from the collective
Compendium of the [[ Sarva Moola]] may be studied as “Reference Texts” prior to “An
Attempted Impromptu Line Summary” on the [[SreeKrishnachaaritra Manjari]] of
*Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^.
*Sreeman Madhwacharyaru’s^ Compendium of 37 [[Holy Literary Works]]

collectively known as the [[Sarva Moola]] solely based on The Eternal Vedas,
Gloriously succeeds in Extolling the Virtues of the Sacred Upanishads, as well. Each
and every [[Holy Work]] of *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^ invariably Upholds The
Supreme Unquestionable Sovereignty of *Sree Hari^! Thus, this Immense School of
[[TatvaVaada]] now reigns unchallenged, established solidly on ‘Secure Bedrock’ of
“Philosophical Entente” amongst *Baghwan Veda Vyaasa^ and all His Followers!
The “First Reference Text”, The [[ Krishnaamrutha Maharanava ]], the Holy Work
Composed by *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^ very well Extolls the Universal Truth that
“Mountainous sins so committed is destroyed by one tiny spark as Symbolized by
Chanting the Mighty Name of *Lord Krishna^”! This particular [[Holy Work]] aims to
(so as all His other Holy Works) Uphold the Infinite Sovereignty of *Sree Hari^ in an
absolutely irrefutable manner! [[Krishnaamrutha Maharnava]] also “Quotes” many
anecdotes and incidents that Highlights the Infinite Glory of *Maha Vishnu^, as derived
from many ancient Epics. In this particular [[Holy Work]] *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^
has most ably Succeeded (if it may be termed so) in pinpointing the “True Essence” of
the Glory and Fame of “KrishnaAvatara”. This, [[Holy Work]] also mirrors the
indefatigable devotion and divine mastery that oozes forth ceaselessly from all [[Holy
Works]] of *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^. [[Krishnaamrutha Maharnava]] consists of
about ‘Twenty Score’ Sanskrit verses Composed in codified Epitome form being Metre
(Chandas), of sub-type “Anushtup”. Most of the Verses that comprise this [[Holy Work]]
are first hand experiences of the *Lord Krishna’s^ most trusted devotees’ such as –
Narada ; Pulasthya ; Maarkandeya ; Athri ; Angareesa ; Mythreya ; Rukmangadha. In
tandem with the inherrent Greatness of the Chanting of “SreeKrishnaMahaMantra”,
*Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^ has also simultaneously Stressed about the supreme virtues
of adherence to compulsory conduct of Holy “Ekaadashi Vratha”. Also, consequent
performance of “Dwaadashi” ritual also finds mention in [[Krishnaamrutha Maharnava]].
Also ‘Harked about’ in this [[Holy Work]] is a rare and conscise description of the
‘Modes of Performance’of ritual worship of the Holy Saaligraamas and the presence of
Special Omnipresence of the *Supreme Lord^ in the same and the manner of application
of “Urdhva Pundra”. (Holy caste mark on the forehead)

Since “Krishna Avatara” is the most immediate Incarnation of the Supreme Lord, “So
Brought About” just prior to the present Kali Yuga, Chanting the “Krishna Maha Mantra”
by all ‘Jeevas’ is indeed a most ‘intelligent and smart’ method of circumventing all latent
sins! This and all other [[Holy Works’]] of *Sreeman Madhwacharayaru^ aims at
highlighting the “Validity of Meditating upon *Lord Krishna^”, and the consequent
“Merits reaped by chanting His Name” --- which is of paramount importance for
individual betterment, since it is estimated that an individual wantonly commits enough
sins each day to cause at least 10 future rebirths! *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^ makes it
most clear in this particular [[Holy Work]] that an individual should keep performing his
duty relentlessly and at the same time try to inculcate manifold devotion towards *Sree
Hari^ and always keep meditating upon Him ONLY, thereby enabling the much sought
after “Three fold Goals”, being --- total destruction of sins, opening up of newer vistas
for His Blessings and more importantly the ultimate goal of Salvation. Many later day
scholars have Composed their own Summaries’ on this [[Holy Work]] -- notable
amongst these being the one composed by the eminent *Sreenivaasachar^ in the lineage
of ^^Rayara Mutt^^.
******* * *************
The Second Reference Text, The [[ Jayanthi Nirnaya ]] is also one amongst the 37
[[Sarva Moola]] Epic Literary Feats Composed by *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^.
Adhyashtithvaa Niraahaaraha Shvobhoothey Parameshwara

Bho Kshyaami Pundarikaaskha Asmin Janmaastami Vrathey || (San.)
In this particular [[Holy Work]], *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^ Highlights The Infinite

Purpose and Glory of “KRISHNA AVATARA” apart from commenting on the modes
of observance of ‘Vratha’ and the manner in which the enshrined merits may be obtained.
Sreeman Madhwacharyaru has Shown in a subtle manner, the ‘Ways and Means’ of
submitting the resultant merits of all duties ‘Solely’ at the “Feet of the Lord” and Await
His Blessings! It is well known that *Supreme Lord^ Himself Incarnated as *Lord
Krishna^ at the behest of Boodevi, Bramah Deva and other Celestials, and rid the
Worlds’ from the scrouge of the evil Kamsa and his co-demons and also alleviated the
misfortunes of the Pandava Clan and all other righteous populace. “Krishnashtami”,
thus is observed on ‘Shravana Bahula Ashtami’ Day during that ‘Most Auspicious
Moment’ at ‘Midnight’ when the Moon is in ‘Full Ascent’! Further, if this ‘Asthami
Day’ coincides with the onset of the Rising Star ROHINI, then such a day is deemed as
JAYANTHI. Conseuqently all those who observe strict rituals on this particular day
stand to be rid of all forms of sins. A devotee should also bear in mind that all
Incarnations of the ‘Lord’ is Infinite in Nature and Is to be viewed as “Jgnaana
Swaroopa”, that is, “Embodiment of Knowledge” ONLY, and never in the manner of
shortcomings limited within mortal body forms! This notion is Captioned as
‘BAGHAVAANAJAHA’ (San) by *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^ Who Connotes the
Totality of Infinite Qualities Omnipresent in the *Lord^ without any semeblance of birth
or demise! Unquestionably, the Time of Incarnation of the *Lord^ is THE Most
Auspicious one amongst ALL & FOREVER! *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^ has also
Commented in [[Jayanthi Nirnaya]], that this Most Auspicious Day needs to be observed
as ‘Ekadasi’ day, with the performance of all daily rituals like ‘Sandhya’, finally
culminating in a Glorious Worship of the *Lord^ at the Most Auspicious Moment of His
Birth! On the forthcoming day, a feast may be arranged enabling one and all to parkate
in the offerings.

ARTICLE - ABSTRACT:-
The ‘Enormously Prolific’ and ‘Meritorious Contents’ mirrored with crystal clear clarity,
is indeed the Greatest Visible Miracle Performed by *Sreemadh Raghavendra
Theertharu^, through the ‘Medium’ of His Literary [[Holy Works]]! The ‘Collective
Substance’ as enshrined in all His Holy Works is without doubt ‘MORE VALUABLE’
than all other miracles Performed by the Holy Pontiff, *Sreemadh Raghavendra
Theertharu^ put together, due to the fact that these [[Holy Works]] substantially
validates in no less manner the Eternal Tenets of [[Tatva Vaada]] of *Sreeman
Madhwacharyaru^, for all Time to Come! It is for this single reason alone that the Holy
Pontiff *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ Shines Forth as the Brightest Star in the
‘Literary Firmament’ amongst a Galaxy of Most Eminent *Madhwa Pontiffs ^!
Before this attempted Impromptu Line Summary on [[SreeKrishnachaaritraManjari]]

Composed by the Holy Pontiff *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ can begin in
right earnest, it is quite apt to quickly browse through a few lines appearing in an
earlier article entitled “GURUGUNA DEEPIKA”, pp. 21 - 22, by T. V. Sudheendrachar
et. al., appearing in www.articles.gururaghavendra.org, May 2004, as excerpted below :

[ [ An Attempted IMPROMPTU LINE SUMMARY ] ]
<1>Heeding to the Pleadings of Celestials Led by Bramha, to free them from the tyranny
of Kamsa and to lessen the burden of the Three Worlds, Sree Hari, Took Birth in Devaki
as Krishna. The infant, Krishna, brought much cheer to the Clans of Nanda. Even as
Infant Krishna was dotingly being held by His Affectionate Mother in Her firm grasp,
The Lord Vanquished the evil she-demon Poothani and the treacherously sly
Shakataasura. ||
<2> The Lord’s Mother was taken aback to see the Infinite Cosmic Universe in the Tiny
Mouth of Her Infant Krishna, even as He Yawned Innocently. The Lord in due course
grew up under the tutelage of Gargaacharya and frolicked as an unquestioned leader
amongst His flock of cowherds. Frequently raiding the households of all dwelling and
hearths, Infant Krishna in supine mischievous Innocence Stole fresh mounds of butter,
gobbling it in much haste and staining His Mouth with some mud in the bargain. ||
<3>The Infant Krishna was chastised by His Mother for breaking pots containing fresh
curds and was tied to millstone nearby. Unmindful of such bindings, the Infant Krishna
mischievously moved ahead dragging along the very millstone that so bound Him and
inadvertently freed many Sages who were trapped in captivity inside huge trees that stood
in His path. An Young Krishna while engaged in grazing cattle in the company of other
cowherds was accosted by evil demons, Vatsaasura and Dhenukaasura, and were all
promptly Slain in no time. ||
<4> The Young Krishna while tending to cattle in the company of other cowherds was
once waylaid by an evil demon named Baka who was soon dispatched to the netherworld.
Meanwhile the Lord’s elder brother Balarama Slew the evil demon Khara. Also, The
Young Krishna with utmost ease crushed the terrorizing Kalia with the tip of His Toenail
and thereby cleansed the waters of River Yamuna of all latent poisonous fumes. ||
<5> Herds of cattle unknowingly traversing deep inside thick forests were soon lost in
dense flora there. Lord Krishna Called Out to them Through His Divine Voice and
Guided the lost flock towards Him. Lord Krishna also put out raging forests fires and
herded groups of cattle safely back to its pen. Then after being treated to a sumptuous
feast by grateful cowherds, Lord Krishna began playing on His Flute and thoroughly
mesmerized all those present there who listened to the same in rapt attention. ||
<6> In order to propitiate Lord Krishna, numerous Gopikas performed great periods of
deep penance. Lord Krishna Pacified many grieving Gopikas and Gave back their hidden
clothes. Lord Krishna also Accepted food offerings of devoted wives of bramhins and
Performed many sacred rituals there. Next, even as a jealous Indra let loose torrential
rains on the low lands below, Lord Krishna lifted the Mighty Goverdhana Mountain by
the Tip of His Little Finger and Protected His faithful flock. ||
<7> Lord Krishna thus Saved His flock from Extremes of Nature and later through
Divine Melodies emanating from His enchanting Flute thoroughly mesmerized groups of
Gopikas. On a bright Full Moon Day, Lord Krishna soon joined Ecstatic Gopikaas and
Rejoiced with them on the banks of the fast flowing river Yamuna. ||
<8> There, Lord Krishna was seen to be dancing in the midst of groups of Gopikaas all
the same time. Thus the Lord was Seen dancing with one damsel at one time, while at
the same time the Lord was Seen carrying another damsel in His Arms, then at the same
time the Lord was Seen disappearing from the midst of another damsel. Lord Krishna
thus Bestowed His Immense Blessings upon the dancing Gopikaas owing to their
unstinted devotion. ||
<9> Lord Krishna Slew Shathadhanva and retrieved the famed gemstone and also
enabled His ardent admirers, the Gopikas, to forever be in the Ecstacy of His Divine
Favor. Lord Krishna Slew the evil Vrushabaasura and Accepted Worship from grateful
Sages and also staged Victory over the evil Kesi. ||
<10> Lord Krishna after being invited to attend the State Festival Proceeded towards
Mathura. Before commencing His journey flocks of ardent Gopikaas beseeched Lord
Krishna with their devotion, which was reciprocated by The Lord, who Showed them His
True Form and hastened towards Mathura. At Mathura, Lord Krishna became the focus
of all round rejoicement and was welcomed with showers of flower petals. There, Lord
Krishna accepted rich silken clothes and numerous flower garlands and thereby heralded
the demise of evil demons. ||
<11> Lord Krishna Shattered to pieces the invincible and mighty bow of Rudra and
promptly dispatched the tyrannical Palace body guards and Slew the marauding bull
elephant, that was let loose on Him. Lord Krishna along with His elder brother Balarama
after vanquishing renowned wrestlers such as Chaanoora and Mushtika rushed towards
the dias and dragged down the evil demon Kamsa and beheaded him in full view of all
assembled, much to their joy and amazement. ||
<12> Lord Krishna Revived the lifeless form of the son of His Guru as a token of His
Guru Dakshina. Then, sent the faithful Uddhava to placate the grieving wives of the slain
Kamsa. Lord Krishna then freed the imprisoned Emperor along with Vasudeva and
Devaki from the confines of prison much to their joy and relief. Lord Krishna Bestowed
upon much happiness to Akroora and came to know about the well being of the Sons’ of
his cousin Kunti Devi. Lord Krishna also effortlessly defeated all evil designs of
Jaraasandha. ||
<13> Lord Krishna with consent of His elder brother Balarama left for the abode of
Gomantha Mountain accompanied by Balarama. There, Lord Krishna Accepted the
famed Crown of MahaVishnu offered by Garuda. Lord Krishna after Slalying the evil
demon Srugaala, proceeded towards Dwaraka and Accepted the Divine Throne and
enabled His trusted follower Muchukunda to destroy the evil Kalayava. ||
<14> Lord Krishna thus destroyed the mighty armies of Kalayava and gave chase astride
on Chariot and pursued the King of Magadha and annihilated the accompanying mighty
armies. At Gomantha, Lord Krishna Opening His Mouth wide swallowed the raging
inferno of fires and thereby nullified the same. Lord Krishna was much Pleased to learn
about the safety of the Pandavas and in due course won over the Hands of the lithe
Jambavathi and Rukmini. ||
<15> Lord Krishna defeated and imprisioned King Rukmi who had intended to wage
war against Him and exposed the evil designs of all His rivals and demasked their cloaks
of decency. Lord Krishna Accepted the Hands of lithe Jambavathi and Satyabaama after
punishing Shathadhanva for his misdeed for having stolen the priceless Shamantaka
Mani. ||
<16> Lord Krishna Slew Shathadhanva who had killed Sathraajitha in order to steal the
priceless gem that was in his possession. Lord Krishna soon returned with the priceless
gem and handed it to its rightful owner and thereby cleansed the slur on Akroora for
having lost the priceless gem. Later on learning from His elder brother Balarama about
the arrival of Pandavas on the banks of River Yamuna, met them and had a prolong
discussion with the valiant Arjuna and was in turn felicitated by Dharmaraja. ||
<17> Lord Krishna, participated in a Swamvara Winning over Mitravindhaa and Neela
while Accepting felicitations from renowned Emperors. Lord Krishna Exhibited His
Pomp and Glory by Climbing atop His Celestial Vehicle Garuda, along with His Consort
Satyabhaama, Holding the Famed Mace Koumaadika in His Hands. Lord Krishna in all
such Grandeur Destroyed many fortifications of valiant Emperor in battle. ||
<18> Lord Krishna Triumphed in fierce battles by Slaying entire armies’ of the evil
Narakaasura. Lord Krishna also slew the many sons’ of the ministers who served
Narakaausra along with their invincible armies comprising of mounted cavalry and
elephants. In due course Lord Krishna Slew the Evil Demon Narakaasura by beheading
him with utmost ease and was propitiated by Mother Earth for lessening Her burden.
Lord Krishna then installed a new King to rule over the slain demon’s Kingdom and in
due course Accepted the hands of several hundred maidens in wedlock after extending
due hospitality to Adhithi Devi. ||
<19> Lord Krishna, the Invincible, who was constantly being Worshipped by all
Celestials, in a fierce battle won the famous Paarijaatha Tree. Lord Krishna brought the
same to Dwaraka and gave it to His Chief Queen Rukmini Devi in whom was born a
valiant Son, similar in valor to Divine Celestials. Lord Krishna also beheaded the
nefarious Poundraka and thereby protected the boons of Rudra. ||
<20> Lord Krishna on the day of Solar Eclipse, accompanied by retinue of wives in tow,
Arrived at the holy pilgrim place of Bhaargava. Here, in the midst of company of holy
Sages requested His Father to Perform Holy Rituals. Lord Krishna then Gave elaborate
discourses to all those who were assembled there are showed them the demented fate of
long lost sons’. ||
<21> Lord Krishna apart from directing His Blessings towards His Principle Consort
Rukmini Devi, also Blessed many hundred of valorous and eminent sons to His other
faithful Consorts. Lord Krishna, Led a life of contentment amidst the company of His
many hundreds of sons’ and numerous grand sons’. Lord Krishna at the time of marriage
of His Son Annirudha, on coming to know about the heated arguments between Rukmi
and Balarama, resolved the same amicably. ||
<22> Lord Krishna’s unmatched prowess in being together with all His Consorts’ all at
the same time rendered even the Celestial sage Naarada speechless in utter awe and
devotion. Thus, Lord Krishna was Seen to be with all His Consorts at the same time
engaged in various tasks such as being in leisure at one place, engaged in deep penance
at one place, being in Bliss at one place, hunting wild animals at other place, engaged in
giving discourse at one place and while Engaged in dispersing with food at other place all
at the same time. ||
<23> Lord Krishna thus engaged in the discharge of all His daily duties thereby
dispersing happiness all round, Arrived at the Palace of Yudhishtira. Lord Krishna
Appeared before the Pandavaas and Initiated the Performance of the famed Raajasuuya
Yagna. Lord Krishna with His valor spelled destruction to the mighty kingdom of
Magadha. ||
<24> Lord Krishna Slew the evil Jaraasandha who raged alone at Magadha, and after
enabling the conclusion of Raajasuuya Yagna, proceeded towards Dwaaraka. On being
accosted by the evil armies of Salva enroute to Dwarka, Lord Krishna Staged a brilliant
Victory over all His enemies by destroying them with the weapons of Rudra. Thus Lord
Krishna triumphed over all His enemies and Entered Dwarka Victoriously. ||
<25> Lord Krishna Consoled Dharmaraja, who was upset after being chastised by a
learned bramhin for not adhering to tenets of Dharma. In due course Lord Krishna along
with the faithful Uddhaava and other Nobles hailing from Mithila placated the Pandavas.
||
<26> Lord Krishna Mediated as an Ambassador on behalf of Pandavas and represented
them in the Kuru Court and Exhibited His Full Divine Might, there. Lord Krishna in the
battle that ensued, Himself became the Divine Charioteer to Arjuna and showed him the
methods of proper discharge of duties. Lord Krishna Enabled Arjuna with many divine
and mighty weapons and in due course Steered the Pandavas towards Victory in the
famed Kurkshetra battle. ||
<27> Lord Krishna thus after mitigating the sufferings of Mother Earth Proceeded
towards Dwaraka. At Dwaraka, Lord Krishna Saved His dear friend Kuchela from the
snares of poverty and Enabled the successfull completion of the famed Aswamedha
yagna. Out of Kindness, Lord Krishna, Ordained Heavens’ to poor bramhins and
Accompanied by His elder brother Balarama Vanquished the evil Danthavakra and
Granted Enlightenment upon the righteous Uddhava. ||
<28> Lord Krishna the Protector of The Three World Is Always at the beck and call of
the righteous. Lord Krishna Dispensing much Kindness to near and dear, being constantly
praised by Celestials, accompanied by great sages, Is being Cheered by All His Spouses
and Progeny on account of the Collective Glories Shown by Him. Let Victory always be
with such a LORD KRISHNA. ||

Composition of Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu ||< >||
EPILOGUE:-
The [[Holy Work]], [[SreeKrishnaChaaritraManjari]] Composed by *Sreemadh

Raghavendra Theertharu^ together with the other equally Important Holy Work
[[SreeRamachaaritraManjari]] needs to be viewed as very “Special Twin Gifts” to the
already bursting Literary Treasure Chest of *Madhwa^ lexicon. These [[Holy Works]] of
the Holy Pontiff ‘Alone’ guarantees to lead an ardent pursuer towards the Path of
Salvation acting as ‘Panacea’ against all misfortunes! For, present in this [[Holy Work]]
of *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^, are the ‘Specially Rare’ qualities of ‘breath
taking transparency and simplicity’ even while de-sizing complex concepts that have
been expertly ‘shortened’ with clinical precision without every deviating from any of the
‘pivotal incidents’ found in the main Text! And, most importantly, one can sense the
manner of narration, flowing forth in ‘unwaveringly simple terms’, which often stuns a
‘layman-student’ into mute submission! This Style of [Katha] narration by *Sreemadh
Raghavendra Theertharu^ remains unmatched and unsurpassed, probably ‘Found’ ONLY
in His other [[Holy Works]]! One cannot but notice that this particular [[Holy Work]] of
*Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ is Composed as ‘Collection’ of legendary events
set in chronological sequence in connection with the Incarnation of the *Supreme Lord ^
Himself as *Sree Krishna^.
** **************
QUOTE :
Ascharyosi Dhanyosi || UNQUOTE
This Sanskrit Exclamations Uttered by *Sage Narada^, while trying to Extoll the
Permanent Hierarchy Supremacy of *Lord Krishna^ amongst the Ranks of Celestials,
being thus rendered wonderstruck and speecheless after visualizing the Glorious Virtues
of Lord Krishna, in short, sums up the Glory of the “Krishna Avatara”! Reason
behind *Sage Narada’s^ such Divine Blissful Ecstasy can be further inferred when one
ponders over a few pivotal incidents such as given below that ‘Took Place’ in the Holy
‘Braj Bhoomi’ and ‘Vrundaavan’, the Play Grounds’ of *Lord Krishna^: -
a) The great fortune and merit of *Nanda^, the foster father of *Lord Krishna^ in whose
humble dwellings, Infant *Krishna^ was Placed alongside Yashoda for caretaking is
worth mentioning. At that particular instance, when the *Lord^ Arrived Holding the
Most Auspicious and Powerful ‘Shanka-Chakra-Gadha-Padma’, the most humble
dwelling of *Nanda^ was transformed into ‘A Place’ Fit enough for the Permanent
Saanidhya of Lakshmi Devi! This Omnipresence of Lakshmi Devi enabled *Nanda^
to dispense with enormous amounts of riches as alms to all and sundry, rejoicing at
the ‘Arrival of the Lord’ at his place! Granaries that till then lay empty soon begain
filling up to the brim with food grains, and the region of ‘Gokula’ was soon
overflowing with copious gallons of cow’s milk! Hundreds of rustic cowherds walked
away with precious gifts comprising of silver, gold and diamond articles filled with
food grains, day in and day out, non stop, all due to the Grace and Behest of Lakshmi
Devi’s Permanent Omnipresent ‘Side By Side’ next to Her Lord! With much gusto
and fanfare, many humble cowherds were seen walking away with silver and gold
articles gifted by an overjoyed *Nanda^! Such simple cowhereds when they happened
to see their fellow compatriots clutching diamond articles, immediately cast aside
their previously received ‘meagre’ silver and gold gifts and rushed back towards the
humble dwelling of *Nanda^ and walked away with articles made out of diamonds
and other precious stones! This was the earliest demonstration of the Concept of
“AKSHAYA” by the *Lord^!
b) It was the young lad *Krishna^ all of 7 years old, who indulged in His naughty
pranks in the midst of bathing Gopikaas and not otherwise as concotted by other
chronicles. It was the same young lad *Krishna^, who along with His other friends,
played around engaging in mock weddings much to the delight of bystanders and
elders!
c) A metamorphical “Flowers Episode” wherein collective “Flower bunches” that

adorned the plaited tresses of Blissfully dancing Gopikaas’ wondered aloud whether
it would be appropriate if they (Flower bunches) continued to occupy the ‘plaits’ of
Parama Baghavatotamas’ (dancing Gopikaas) who were now about to be re-united
with *Lord Krishna^ Himself !! Thinking thus, the collective “Flower bunches”
purposefully “Slipped down” from the ‘High’ tresses of the dancing Gopikaas and
in turn decorated their bejewelled legs INSTEAD! Such devoted ‘Mark of Respect’
shown by “Flower bunches” resulted in a “Huge Carpet of flower beds”
everywhere, even as the blissfully dancing Gopikaas’ rushed along towards where
*Lord Krishna^ Stood!
d) Even as *Lord Krishna^ Held Up the Goverdhana Mountain and thereby protected
His faithful clan, some clan members ‘called’ out to the Lord mocking at Him to
lower the same, thinking that they were safe ‘by themselves’ in warding off the
torrential rains brought about by *Indra^! Soon, the clan members were aghast with
fear even as the torrential rains pounded them with renewed vigor, even as *Lord
Krishna^ heeding to their request began to lower the Goverdhan Mountain! Soon
such doubters then collectively ‘fell’ at the Feet of *Lord Krishna^ imploring Him to
forgive them for such ‘Ignorance’! * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
As is wont, this [[Holy Work]] of *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ also needs to be

studied ONLY with reference to the ‘Interpreted View Points’ of *Sreeman
Madhwacharyaru^ while delving into many ‘Incidents’ directly linked to the Supremacy
and Glory of *Lord Krishna^, that abound in the Main Epic [[Mahaabhaarata]] in all
most all Chapters! Indeed, there is much doubt about the ‘Appeal’ of the chaste devotee
Draupadi to *Lord Krishna^ to save her honor from the nefarious designs of the evil
Kauravas’ led by Duryodhana and Dushyaasana. It is ONLY, *Sreeman
Madhwacharyaru^ who has clarified without any iota of doubt that it was NOT Draupadi
who ‘Pleaded’ with *Lord Krishna^ for succor, rather it was Shyamala Devi, the wife of
Yama! The explanation given to this mind boggling ‘Theory’ is understood better by
studying together the ‘Case History’ of *Bheema^ and Draupadi!
*Bheema^, being a perfect practioner of Vyshnava Dharma in Toto, very well versed in
all branches of studies especially handling of weapons of war, foremost amongst all
Jeevas’, receipient of all such branches of study from none other than Parashurama and
Drona, was the Greatest Devoteeof *Lord Krishna^. Also, *Bheema^ never ever utilised
the weapons granted to Him by Celestials for settling personal agendas. *Bheema^ never
patronized any other Celestial other than *Lord Krishna^. Nor did *Bheema^ ever carry
out such tasks that were not in the favor of Lord Krishna^. Nor, did he (Bheema) ever
sponsor any activity that was detrimental to the Glory of *Lord Krishna^. *Bheema^
even for a tiny fraction of a second never ever doubted the meritorious values of
following Dharma, Path of Knowledge and Devotion all directed towards the ‘Service’ of
*Lord Krishna^. *Bheema^ along with His wife Draupadi (Incarnation of Bhaarathi
Devi) never ever erred or faulted in showing unwavering faith and devotion towards
*Lord Krishna^, even during most adverse and trying circumstances. These two were
unstinted devotees of *Lord Krishna^ at all times, and under all circumstance, unlike
other Pandava clan members, who owing to circumstantial pressures, had wavered in
their devotion and faith levels towards *Lord Krishna^. Indeed, in such a scenario,
Draupadi the Consort of *Bheema^, being dedicated ‘Satvik’devotee Herself and an
Incarnation of high ranking Celestial – Bharathi Devi, did NOT seek succor from *Lord
Krishna^ at all! Such an action from her would have undermined her “Epic Devotion”
towards *Lord Krishna^, since she was following all the tenets of “Vyshnava Dharma” in
TOTO, and thereby would have “Automatically” and priorly bequeathed all “honor” at
the Lotus Feet of *Lord Krishna^! Hence, Draupadi did not appeal for protection, since
by being such a steadfast practioner of all the Tenets of Vyshnava Dharma, it was the
PRIMARY DUTY AND ONUS of *Lord Krishna^ to Protect her against all adversities!
This ‘Most Special Quality’ is further elucidated by *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^ who
Says: -
QUOTE -----
Vikrushyamaaney Vasaney Thu Krushnaa Sasmaraa

Krushnam Suvisheshathopi|| (San.) UNQUOTE
Here, “SUVISHESHATHOPI” (San.), implies that even during times’ of utmost peril
and adversity, Draupadi remains fully immersed in ‘Total and all Encompassing’
Meditation directed towards *Lord Krishna^ Alone, thoroughly unmindful of her state of
existence! A demonstratin of the ‘Quality’ of Bharathi Devi that endeared Her So Much
Towards the Supreme Lord, even ahead of such high ranking Celestials such as *Sesha^,
*Garuda^ and *Rudra^!
Haa Krishna Dwarakaavaasin Kvaasi Yaadavanandana

Imaavasthaam Praapthaanaam Maam Thvam Kimupekshyasey || (San.)
Thus, the above quoted ‘Plea’ directed towards *Lord Krishna^ for succor was not
uttered by Draupadi, but by Shyaamala Devi, the wife of Yama, who had taken
“Residence” in the body form of Draupadi at that particular vile moment of dishonor! A
further concurrent repetition of this ‘Truth’ may be found in the immortal composition of
*Kanaka Daasaru^ quoted below : --------
QUOTE –
“BaagilanuTheyredhu SeveyanuKodo Hariyey Koogidharu Dhwani

KeylallilaveyNaraHariyey”
“Yamasuthanaraanigey Akshayavasanavaaithey”!! (Kan.)
{ The Consort of Yama was thus enabled with Infinite Garments by Lord Krishna! }
UNQUOTE.
***** ** ********
In each ‘Verse’ of [[SreeKrishnaChaaritraManjari]] a student / devotee/ can decipher a
‘Protagonist’ (read as *Sree Krishna^) and an ‘Antagonist’ (read as evil demons and their
cohorts). This subtle ‘Play of Incidents’ Composed in a concise manner without ever
deviating from the Supreme Sovereignty of *Lord Krishna^ in full concurrence with the
hoary [[Tatva]] of *Sreeman Madhwacharyaru^ is MOST UNIQUE! Also, in this
particular [[Holy Work]] the Holy Pontiff *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theetharu^ has most
aptly highlighted the epic incidents that took place during the Incarnation of *Krishna^,
with concurrent showcasing of the Supreme Power & Sovereignty of the * Lord ^! From
such narration one can indeed fathom the ‘Supreme Levels of Devotion’ of the Holy
Pontiff *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ towards the * Lord ^! Also, this [[Holy
Work]] was Composed by *Sreemadh Raghavendra Theertharu^ in order to facilitate
quick Study of the Greatness of the Incarnation of *Sree Krishna^! Hence, the immense
task of trying to ‘Mirror’ the Infinite Immensity of the Entire [[Krishna Katha]] within a
tiny piece of glass has been most ably Accomplished by the Holy Pontiff *Sreemadh
Raghavendra Theertharu^! Scholars’ and devoted laymen, alike, can only humbly bow
before such ‘Divine Literary Acumen’ with abject surrender and express of our
gratitude thus ------ ---
