days, was fully convinced of the untenability of advaita and
became an ardent follower of Sri Madhva. Once while he
was witnessing Śrī Madhva's puja, the doors were shut for
offering the naivedya to God. The inquisitive Trivikrama
looked in through the key-hole and lo! he saw the three
forms of Hanūmān, Bhima and Madhva worshipping the three
forms of Hari viz :-Rāma: Krishna and Vyasa. A genius as
he was, he composed the Vayustuti of 41 verses and placed it
at the feet of the Guru, when he came out. Though Sri
Madhva was pleased, he disapproved of his own exclusivə
praise and prefaced it with two verses of Nakhastuti of Śrī
Narasimha, which should be chanted by all, before comme-
ncing and after completing the 41 verses.
As per Trivikrama's statement in the last verse-stuti
makrta harer Väyudevasya câsya,' he has praised both Hari
and Vayu in these verses. Each verse eulogises Śri Hari and
Vayu and has got two meanings. In this publication, our
learned friend Śrī Vasudeva Rau has translated the first
meaning only and promises the second in due course.
