Harivāyustuti with English Translation /43

25
 
It is well known in the puraṇas that the argument of

the opponents of the Vēda that I am Brahman, that I am

attributeless and that the world is unreal was accepted in

accordance with Manimaṇimān's wicked intent by some persons

of evil mind and rejected by the virtuous. O, Mukhya-

prāņa, glorious is your third incarnation (as Madhva) which

like the great circle of fire in the form of valid scriptural

statements is capable of completely burning the poisonous

tree in the form of fallacious arguments that are spreading

all around.

O, Śrīmad AĀnandatirtha, on hearing your leonine roar

of discourse the foxes in the form of māyāvādins who

were defeated by you were seen at that moment by good

people running away swiftly in all the ten directions calling

to one another, bereft of all hopes of conquering you.

Their views were under others' control owing to

the pro-

fusion of fear and their pride was entirely humbled. They

were crying that the destruction of the evil-minded fellows

is the destruction of the entire country. Possessing uncultured

qualities and their courage fully subdued, they rendered them-

selves inauspicious by their false oaths and curses.
