Harivāyustuti with English Translation /12

Śrī Hari. Hence this work is also known as Harivāyustuti.
But I have brought out the former meaning only. I leave
It to a competent and qualified person to bring out
the latter meaning. I have derived much help from the
learned and lucid Sanskrit commentary of Vedātma Yati
and the exhaustive Kannada commentary of Vidyā Vācaspati
P. P. L. N. Upādhyāya. As Pandit Sri M. Rama Rao has
given a synopsis of the work in his learned foreword it
was not found necessary to prepare a table of contents.
However, some of the important topics may be mentioned
here. They are: Enjoyment of the liberated souls in Vaiku-
ntḥa (Verse 9); description of Vaikuntḥa (v 10); description
of andhatamas (v 11); fate of nityasamsārins (v 12); fate of
the tāmasic souls (v 13); supremacy of Lord Śrī Viṣṇu and
worship according to gradation (v 15); fate of the three
kinds of souls (v 16); the wonderful exploits of Hanumān
(v 17-21); the heroic deeds of Bhima (v 22-28); the third
victorious avātar of Vāyudeva (v 30-32) and the description
of Vedavyāsa (v 37).
