It is well known that when his tail was set on fire at the
command of Rāvaņa. Śrī Hanuman was not only unhurt by
it but also destroyed the whole city, When Bhima was
thrown into a deep pool with his body tied and serpents were
let loose on him, nothing happened to him. Madhva, a young
boy at that time, crushed to death Maniman who came to
bite him in the form of a serpent. Even the wrestlers (Ganda-
vātas) could not break his neck. These are only a few of
the examples.

VERSE 33
 
In this verse the poet expresses his ardent desire to see
the delightful face of the acārya (the third avatār of ¥¶¶¶¯);
His face is इष्टदायक and अनिष्ट निवारक.
 
The poet describes the beautiful face of the acarya. The
face is lighted by a gentle smile the lustre of which illumines
words as sweet as honey. The words are tender and they
dispel such undesirable things as are opposed to happiness,
namely, अज्ञान, संशय, विपरीत ज्ञान etc., They are superior to
nectar in so far as they bring . For, even the gods who
drink nectar are not free from birth and death. The face
is aptly compared to the orb of the moon which has just risen
and is in the centre of the sky.
