of Puraścharana or repeated mutterings, for the attainment
of our desired ends.
The hero of the Stuti is Śrī Vāyu, 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 Viṣṇu in fulfilling the latter's mission, Where
Vāyuis, there is Visbnu and where Vishnu is, there is Vāyu.
Compare M. B. T. Nirnaya 5-36 and the avatārs of Rāma
and Krishna. In the 16th Chapter of Vayupurāṇa, Śrī Hari
says that He will not accept anything without Vāyu and
so everything must be dedicated to him through Vāyu
alone.
Hence we have been adding the saving phrase-Bhārati
Ramana Mukhya prāṇāntargata= the indweller of the Chief
Vayu, the Lord of Bhārati' - in each and every dedication
of ours to Sri Hari. Otherwise it will be lost in transit
and usurped by the asuras.
Śrī Vāyu's superiority over all other gods is established
in five of the ten Upanishads and Baiittā Sukta etc., sing
his glories. Last but not least he is the recommending
authority for moksha and the usher of the deserved, into the
presence of Hari. So there is no Madhva but chants the
Vāyustuti.
The author of Śrī Vāyustuti is Śrī Trivikrama Pandit, a
veteran advaita scholar of Sri Madhva's times. He met Śrī
Madhva, heard his learned discourses, argued with him for 15
of our desired ends.
