was later on to become the Jagadguru of Sri Sringeri Mutt under the name of Sri
Nrisimha Bharati and the worthy predecessor of the illustrious Sri Sacchidananda
Sivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati Swamigal. While at Benares Kutti Sastri wrote many
a book. Probably Kakataliya Vadartha, Dhurganachandrika and Tarkasangraha
Vyakhya are among those then written. After some time he started for a return to
the South. While passing through Maharashtra on the way back, he was honoured
by Madhava Rao, Parasuram Pattavardhana and other famous Pandits of the time.
By the time he came to Mysore, the Hindu dynasty had been restored and Krishna-
raja Wodayar was the ruling Prince. The king persuaded him to stay for some years
at Mysore and appointed him as a Dharmadhikari in his own palace. Thanks to this
royal patronage the Pandit performed the Jyotishtoma Yaga in a very grand style.
While at Mysore he heard about the greatness of the then Jagadguru at Sringeri
and went there to pay his respects to him. He did not recognise in the Acharya
before him the young Brahmachari who was his disciple at Benares but the latter
could not fail to recognise his Vedanta Guru, When the recognition was complete

The Pandit returned to Mysore and thence proceeded to Ramesvaram. On
the way he saw King Sarabhoji at Tanjore and the king was extremely glad to
see the Pandit whom he thought he had lost for ever by his own fault. After his
return from Ramesvaram he stayed in his own village. Ripe in years and in
learning, he had intense devotion to God, especially as manifested in the Mahalinga
Murti at Madhyarjuna near his village and he has written a Mahalinga Sataka in
praise of Him. He seems to have lived to the age of about eighty and then merged
in the feet of his favorite Deity Sri Mahalinga.

The reader will recognise from the above that the Mahisha Sataka is not an
idle Kavya written by a clever poet for the benefit of those who want to waste time
pleasantly but that it is replete with eternal truths, is from the pen of a really very
serious author and has been commented upon by no less than the Vedanta Guru of
Sringeri Acharya. We have much pleasure and pride therefore in launching this
publication for the benefit of all lovers of Sanskrit and of wisdom.
