It is well known that when his tail was set on fire at the

command of Rāvaņa. Śrī Hanumaūmān 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
ṇimān 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 acācārya (the third avatār of ¥¶¶¶¯मुख्यप्राण);
.
His face is इष्टदायक and अनिष्ट निवारक.
 

 
The poet describes the beautiful face of the acaryaācārya . 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.
