In the shraavana maasa no vegetables for one month. In the Bhadrapada maasa no curd. In the Ashweeja maasa no milk and in the Kaarteeka maasa no dwidal dhanya pulses i.e. bahu beeja should not be used in the food. Yatis strictly follow this, even the Astikas and the Sajjanas also follow this rule (Niyama )during the holy chaturmaasa.
The Akshaya Gnyana, Panditya,Pratibhe and
the Grantha Rachana of our Yatiraat Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru
are described in Mantralaya(245).
Now that time had come. Sri Raghavendrateertharu after the departure of Sri Yadavendrateertharu from Kumbhkonam to Hampi Anegundi navavrundavana,during the busy schedule of Adhyayana and Adhyapana Gururayaru decided to start the Grantha Rachana as per the inspiration of Sri Hari and the will and wish of our parama guru Sri Vijayeendrateertharu and Sri Sudheendrateertharu. We have no words to describe the abundant knowledge of Vedopanishadas, rich vocabulary, high imagination and the Anugraha of Sri Vidya Laxmi towards the divine chetana. For all this creativity the peace of mind and the presence of mind of Mantralaya Rayaru cannot be excelled by others. That was the divine gift to Sri Raghavendrateertharu by the Lord Sri Hari. The punya of Rayaru and the fortune of the devotees we can say.

The lines of Mangalashtaka depict the perfection of Imagination (Pratibha), Knowledge (Gnyana), efficient in all the vidyas-kalas and the popularity of our Sri Gururayaru. Such a great Yatiraat is simply accepting the seva from all the sections of society and is very popular. The grandeur and offerings received by Rayaru are again submitted to Sri Hari and the punya is distributed to the devotees. So Rayaru is famous as Bhakta Priya. There are two great personalities, eminent scholars who were contemporary to Rayaru and lived with Rayaru have completed knew Rayaru they have described very beautifully in their works. They are Bichali Sri Appanacharya greatest devotee and Sri Narayanacharya the poorvashrama nephew of Rayaru( son of elder sister Venkatamba and Laxminarasimhacharya).
Sri Narayanachar has written : Sri Raghavendra Vijaya
Bichali Sri Appanacharya has written : Sri Raghavendra Gurustotra, Mangalashtaka and Sri Raghavendra Kavacha.
Again Sri Appanacharya has described in the seventh shloka of Mangalashataka:

Sri Vedavyasaru, Sri Anandateertharu, Sri Jaiteertharu, Sri Vyasarajaru’s
granthas upadeshamruta has done a great job to all of us. Sri Raghavendrateertharu has written Khandaartha to SriManNyayaSudhaParimala etc. Such a great Yatiraat always Bless good things in life.
Sri Raghavendra Gurusarvabhoumaru has composed
Tippanis to all the Teekas and beautiful explanatory notes (Vyakhyana).
With good and kind words made them easily accessible to the devotees. Our
Gururayaru a great lover of music, literature, Sri Hari Bhakta Karunaalu
has done only the good things through out in life. Just as we get the fragrance
of Sandal when we go on rubbing the sandal wood to the grinding stone (saanekallu),
we will gain more and more knowledge when we go on reading the writings
of our Sri Rayaru always enlighten new ideas and new thoughts. The writings
of Rayaru are the books of all the times. This is all for the sake of his
devotees, what an amount of concern and care Rayaru is having towards his
devotees! We are fortunate to have Mantralaya Rayaru as our Guru,Daiva
and Sarvaswa. (contd.)
