is well educated in all the humanities of the time studies
under Brahmanya Thirtha for some time more. Brahmanya
Thirtha seeing the intellect of the boy and considering
that he is fit to be ordained and to fight and win over
unbelievers gives him Sanyasa and confers on him the
appellation of Vyasa.
4. In the fourth chapter, Vyasa, after remaining with
his Guru Brahmanya Thirtha for some time, starts on a
tour. He visits many places in India and comes to Kanchi.
Then he goes to Mulbagal and stays there a long time
studying under the teacher Lakshminarayana Muni other-
wise known as Sripadaraya. Sripadaraya then advises
Vyasathirtha to go to the Court of Narasa who had then
recently begun to rule the Penugonda kingdom. Sripadaraya
advises Vyasathirtha that in the interests of the good of
the country, Sanyasis may live in the capitals of kings.
Vyasathirtha takes the advice of his Guru and goes to
Penugonda (Mahachalapuri). King Narasa is very cordial.
Vyasathirtha spends a long time in Penugonda expounding
philosophy.
5. The fifth chapter begins with a description of
Vijayanagar. When the emperor Narasa enters Vijayanagar,
he pays homage to Vyasathirtha. All the learned men of
India come and hold a disputation and Vyasathirtha comes
out victorious. He is honoured by the emperor Narasa and
himself honours learned men with valuable gifts. The
emperor Viranarasimha, the son of Narasa, succeeds Narasa
and treats Vyasaraya with reverence as Rama treated Vasishta,
the Guru of Dasaratha. Vyasathirtha composes the works
Tatparya Chandrika, Nyayamrita and Tarka Tandava.
Then the Emperor Krishna Devaraya succeeds Viranarasimha.
A fully deserved eulogy of Krishna Devaraya is given.
