Sri Vibudhendrateertharu’s most valuable presentation of 108 Suvarna Jaya Patra Maala to Tirumala Sri Venkateshwaraswami and the importance of Sri Vibudhendrateertha Avataari Sri Vijayeendrateertharu, Sri Jitamitrateertharavatari Sudheendrateertharu and Vijayeendra Karaabjothha Sudheendra Varaputrakaha

Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu and the unforgettable contribution of Sri Narayanacharyau are described in Mantralaya(465).

Meaning

We are highly grateful to Sri Raghavendra Vijayakaara Sri Narayanacharyaru for the greatest and the unforgettable contribution for presenting this Mahakavya book of all times to the Devotees of this world. Our Vidya Mathha Samsthhaapaka the 11th.Pontiff of our Acharya Paramahamsa Peethha Sri Vibudhendrateertharu’s description beautifully covered in Sri Raghavendra Vijaya. Sri Vibudhendrateertharu by the Divine Grace acquired the idol of Shodasha Baahu Sri Narasimhadevaru in Ahobala Kshetra. In the Debate Vaada of Dwaita and Adwaita He was Second to none. Always a Winner. Superb style of presentation. In all the debates after the victory Sri Vibudhenrateertharu was preparing the Jaya Patra on a golden leaf - Suvarna Jaya Patra. Like this Yativarenyaru made a beautiful garland of 108 Golden Leaves Suvarna Jaya Patra Maala and offered to the Lotus Feet of Tirumala Sri Venkateshwara Swami. Sri Vibudhendrateertharu humbly said Swami Srinivas all the victory in Vaada was not of mine that is yours. So please accept this Suvarna Jaya Patra Maala and Bless me. Even to this day the Suvana Jaya Patra Maala offered by Sri Vibudhendrateertharu is still in Tirumala under the custody of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthhaanams. Sri Narayanacharyaru described in the Mahakavya SRI RAGHAVENDRA VIJAYA:

Prativaadyukta Shlokopetaaha Ashtottara Sahta Suvarna Patrikaaha
Samapitavaan Taa Adyaapi Sri Venkateshware Drushyante

Sri Vibudhendrateertharu desirous as Sri Moola Ramadeva Pooja again took the Avatara. That too for the sake of Paramahamsa and Dwaita Siddhanta Seva as Sri Vishnuteertharu and became Sri Vijayeendrateertharu. It is the Punya and the Privilege of the last Vijayanagar Emperor Aliya Ramaraja to honour and felicitate our Parama Guru Sri Vijayeendrateertharu:

Vidwadavaro Asmat Vijayeendra Yogee Vidya Suhrudyaswatula Prabhaavaha
Ratnaabhishekam Kila Ramarajaaat Praapyyagra Laxmi KrutaAgrahaaraan

Pandit Sri Narayanacharyaru has described nicely, Performed not only Ratnaabhisheka but also gave abundant wealth and satisfied. Sri Vijayeendrateertharu Parama Vairaagya Shiromani utilized that wealth and money towards the construction of Agrahaara to reside the able Brahmins who were engaged in Adhyayana Adhyaapana, Yajana and Yaajana. Thus did a great job of Lokoddhaara and Saaraswata Seva.

It is important to know that first Sri Vijayeendrateertharu’s personality was fully blossomed and developed under the kind care and brought up first by Sri Vyasaraja Yativarenya Gurusarvabhoumaru as Sri Vishnuteertharu. It is the Sankalpa of Sri Hari that Sri Vishnuteertharu has become the Shishya of Sri Surendrateertharu the 14th.Pontiff, Mahaan Aparokshagnyani of our Vidya Mutt, Sadaachara Sampanna, famous and well known for the Maanasapooja, Profound Scholar well versed in all the Four Vedas, Six Shaastraas and Eighteen Puraanas. Sri Surendrateertharu happily accepted the young shining Sri Vishnuteertharu from Sri Vyasarajaru as His Shishya, as a Vidya Guru taught all the Vidya including the 64 kalas. As a Shishya of Sri Vyasarayaru Vishnuteertharu gained abundant knowledge, after attaining the Paramahamsa By Sri Surendrateertharu as Sri Vijayeendrateertharu added impetus to the growth of Knowledge and Granthha Rachana. Dear devotees it is very important to know that all the Yatis right from the Eleventh  ontiff Sri Vibudhendrateertharu all the Paramahamsas have contribution and the role in developing Vidya multifariously is a great record in Dwaita Peethha. We are fortunate to find all this in SRI RAGHAVENDRA VIJAYA by Sri Narayanacharyaru. A Great Asset to the Devotees of Mantralaya. It is a gold mine to all of us. So Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru is fully aware of this. So described in Gurustotra :

Sri Vijayeendra Karaabjothha Sri Sudheendra Varaputrakaha.

Sri Vijayeendrateertharu was too dear to Sri Vyasaavatari Sri Raghavendrateertharu as He was His Shishya by name Sri Vishnuteertharu.
Sri Jitamitrateertharu again took Avatara as Sri Sudheendrateertharu and took Sanyasa by Sri Vibudhendrateertharavatari Sri Vijayeendrateertharu.
Devotees look at the great fortune of Sri Sudheendrateertharu as he became the Guru of his Guru Sri Vijayeendrateertharu’s Guru Sri Vyasarajaravatari Sri Raghavendrateertharu. These three Paramahmasas Stalwarts of Dwaita Samrajya Vidya Mutt witnessed the golden age. These three shined like the Sun and the Moon. The Vidya Vaibhava and the thirst for Granthha Rachana of Sri Sudheendrateertharu are all meticulously described in Sri Raghavendra Vijaya.So Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharyaru has taken all the three names in Gurustotra Sri Vijayeendrateertharu Sri Sudheendrateertharu and Mantralaya Yatiraat Gururaat Sri Raghavendrateertharu.Respected and Regarded as Adhidaivaru.

Let us have the Punya Smarana of our Sri Raghavendra Vijayakara Sri Narayanacharya. Sri Raghavendrateertharu’s Poorvashrama elder sister Venkatamba - Venkamma was married to a great Scholar of Madhurai Sri Laxminarasimhacharya, who was well versed in all the Vedas, Shastras and the Puranas and also running a Vidya Peethha. During the Poorvashrama Venkatanatharu - Venkatabhattacharyaru (Sri Raghavendrateertharu) lived in Madhurai under the motherly care of Venkamma and studied under the able guidance of His Guru Sri Laxminarasimhacharyaru Kashyapa Gotra. When we just think that the Guru of Rayaru is Sri Laxminarasimhacharyaru, what an amount of Punya he has made and what an amount of Great Scholarship Sri Laxminarasimhacharya had at that time. Hats off to this Mahaan Guruvarenya. Words fall short to describe the Vidya Vaibhava of our Madhurai Sri Laxminarasimhacharyaru. Sri Narayanacharyaru is the only son of Venkatamba and Sri Laxminarasimhacharyaru. A Great Scholar Acharya Sachchhastra Parinataru:

Pratibhaanam Kavya Vidya Prachaya Parichayam
Vruddha Sevaanuraagam Sataabhyaasa Prayatnam
Niyatam Kavitege Kaaranam.

Became a Gnyani Pandit. Studied in Kumbhakonam Vidy Mutt under the able Guruvarya Karunaa Sindhu Sri Raghavendrateertharu along with Sri Laxminarayanacharyaru, the Poorvashrama son , Shreepaadaputraru. Sri Narayanacharyaru is the Poorvashrama nephew of Rayaru. Always lived with Rayaru including Sanchaara. Not only that these two stalwarts were with Rayaru till to the Pravesha of Brindavana. When the procession started from Sri Venkateshwara temple to the sacred bank of Tungabhadra Siddhi Sthhala while sitting on the elephant Maandhaata Sri Narayanacharya with a heavy heart gave the Pooja Pettige of Sri MoolaRamadevaru. Laxminarayanacharya and Narayanacharya with immense grief rolling tears on their cheeks did the Chaamara Seva saying loudly :

JAI SRI RAGHAVENDRA JAI GURU RAGHAVENDRA NAMO
SRI RAGHAVENDRA VIDYA MATHA YATIVARENYA.

It is the Punya of several Janmas that Sri Narayanacharyaru is the author of this Mahakavya SRI RAGHAVENDRA VIJAYA. A Great Gift to Manukulaand thus became the most important personality in our Dwaita Peethha Dwaita Siddhanta. Such personalities take birth by the Punya of our Nation, Language and Culture. The extraordinary style, description, presentation is possible only to the RELATIVES of our Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertharu. We are lucky to Regard Sri Narayanacharya, Bichali Japadakatti Sri Appanacharya, Sondur Sri Krishnavadhootaru, Ibharamapura Appavaru,Kosigi Sri GuruJagannathadasaru, Uttanooru Sri Gopaladasaru, Manvi Sri Jagannathadasaru, Surpur Sri Anandadasaru and the Dasavarenyas of Lingasugur. We have to remember and attain perfection of our heart and mind. Sajjanas involved in Mantralaya Seva may look too ordinary, they will not make any show Adambara, but owing to the Seva they are bestowed abundant power of Siddhi by Rayaru, we call as Siddha Sankalparu, whatever they aspire will be fulfilled definitely by Rayaru. So we should not speak light of them and neglect. Each action and deed of Sajjanas will be in accordance and in compliance with Mantralaya. They believe in live and let live.

Let us regard and remember such Mantralaya Seva Nirata Devotees, try to come to near and become dear to Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrateertha Gurusarvabhoumaru.

Hats off to SRI RAGHAVENDRA VIJAYAKAARA SRI NARAYANCHARYARU.
