of Puraścharana or repeated mutterings, for the attainment
of our desired ends.
 

of our desired ends.
 
The hero of the Stuti is Śrī Väāyu, who plays a vital

role in the affairs of all. If he is inside our bodies, we

live and if he goes out, we die. He is a member of the

Rju group and Paraśuklatraya, who will ever be pure and

never do any wrong in thought, word and deed, both in

his original form and avatars of Śrī Hanūmān, Bhima and

Madhva. He is Jeevottama, the greatest of all jivas and

a deputy of Vishņṣṇu in fulfilling the latter's mission, Where

Väyu āyuis, there is Visbnu and where Vishnu is, there is Vāyu.

āyu and
so everything must be dedicated to him through Vayu
 
alone.

Hence we have been adding the saving phrase-Bhārati

Ramana Mukhya prāṇāntargata= the indweller of the Chief

presence of Hari.
So there is no Madhva but chants the

Väyustuti.
 
āyustuti.
