MADHVANAMA

jyEshTa shudhdha caturdashi is the puNya-dina of shrIpAdarAjaru, the great mAdhva saint. His contributions to haridAsa literature, the growth and

propagation of dvaita, and other fields are immense and well documented. One of the most popular works of shrIpAdarAja is madhvanAma. This is a kannada

poem extolling vAyu dEvaru and his three incarnations. It follows the structure of shri hari-vAyu stuti and was composed by shrIpAdarAjaru for the benefit of

those who dont know sanskrit and / or are not allowed to recite the vAyu-stuti. In this short but potent work shrIpAdarAjaru has not only captured the essence of the shri hari-vAyu stuti but also embedded several key, and not so well known concepts, as well as incidents from Ramayana and Mahabharata. One has to remember that shrIpAdarAjaru was an amsha of dhruva, an aparOksha gyani, a very great scholar and the vidya-guru of shrI vyAsarAja. So, his description of vAyudevaru and his three incarnations is bound to be complete and flawless. The fact that another great aparOksha gyani - shrI jagannAtha dasaru – has written the phala-stuti of this work is a testimony to its potence and greatness.

Each verse is covered as follows – an ITRANS version is provided, followed by a word-by-word meaning, a quick translation, followed by a discussion of the

concept / incident highlighted in the verse, along with appropriate references. The word-by-word meaning is for the benefit of those who dont know Kannada (and those who have just a passing acquaintance with the language). This meaning is taken from dvaitavedanta.  Major references being from Karnataka Bhakta Vijaya - Sri Belur Keshavadasaru

SripAdaraja Samputa - Prof. Aralumallige Parthasarathy.

 ITRANS version of stotra

There are several pATAntaras of the stotra. By and large, this document adheresto the version outlined in the reference book is followed. It also agrees, to a very large degree, with the version provided by Sri Beluru Keshavadasaru in his monumental work - Karnataka Bhakta Vijaya. And most importantly, this is the version that is displayed near the mUla brindAvana of shrI shrIpAdarAjaru in muLbAgilu.
