On the path of the holy and virtuous he does tread Pious and steadfast is he in mind, word and deed His worded gems shine with rays of enlightenment indeed Belongs he to the Lord's saintly votary creed - 5 He does walk himself on the path of panchakala prakriya as ordained by the scriptures. Our Swamy is a great yogi and has great yoga-siddhi as well as vaak-siddhi. He is indeed pious in mind, word and deed. His words indeed shine with rays of enlightenment. He does definitely belong to the goshti of nityasuris or the holy votary creed. We pray at the feet of the Lord and our purvacharyas to bless our Swamy with a life of a hundred years with good health and to enable him continue the sampradaya rakshanam he has been tirelessly doing for so many years now. Let us sing his taniyan and purify ourselves – ShrImannUtana ranganAtha yatirAdAptAtma vidyAlayam shrImannUtana lakshmaNArya yatirAt samprApta turyAshramam | shrIvAsendra katAksha santata sudhA lakshyAtma yogAnchitam shrImannUtana vAgadhIsha yaminaM bhaktyAshrayAmo gurum || navya vAgIsha yogIndram hayAsya padasevinam brahmatantra swatantrAryam bhajAma svAtma sampadam | shrImadvedamArga pratishtApanAchArya paramahamsa parivrAjakAchArya sarvatantra swatantrobhaya vedAnthAchArya shrImat shrI kavikathaka kanteerava charana nalina yugala vinyasta samastAtma bhara shrI brahmatantra swatantra parakAla AsthAna durandhara shrIlakshmI hayagrIva divya mani pAdukA sevaka shrImadabhinava vAgeesha brahmatantra swatantra parakAla yatIndra maha deshikaaya namaha Glory to the great Acharya Srimath Abhinava Vageesha Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Yatindra Maha Deshika vAzhi vyAkhyAmuddirak kai !!! vedAntasUri charaNau sharaNam prapadye !!! Srimath Kavitarkika Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Swamy (13th pattam) has written a maha-kavyam on Swamy Deshika titled “Venkatanatheeyam”. He has also authored a commentary to Srimadrahasyatrayasaram using the Srisuktis of Swamy Deshika itself as the final pramanam. Unfortunately, both the works have not stood the test of time. E-25
