<p lang="sa">continuously for three days and was in deep meditation,

Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa appeared before him as Bālagopālakṛṣṇa

and danced a lovely dance. Once, while Srī Vyāsa

Tīrtha was engaged in writing his philosophical work,

goddess Saraswati appeared and blessed him with a

Mani-Lekhit a precious pen. It also heard that by

his very glancing, clouds poured rains and people who

just thought ill of him would lose their very life. It

unparalalled skill of Śrī Vyāsa Tīrtha in the art of

debate, they connive together and under the leadership
