Introduction

In the course of the introduction to the first volume of Bhagavata Tatparya nirnaya it is already stated that this work of Sri Ananda Tirtha (Sri Madhvacharya) is a critical exposition of Srimad Bhagavata. It is also stated that Bhagavata is quite distinct from Mahabharata, Ramanaya and Puranas in respect of its style, subject matter and the purpose. Its theme is to describe the different incarnations of the Supreme God Narayana, particularly, the incarnation of Sri Krishna.

In the course of this description discourses on philosophy, theology and ethics are introduced. Inculcation of devotion to the Supreme God and detachment from worldly things is stressed. A noble conduct designated as Bhagavata Dharma is advocated all along. In the course of the narration of the main theme the episodes of the Sages, Kings and distinguished devotees are introduced.

The style of Bhagavata is not simple like that of Mahabharata and Puranas. It is scholastic style like later Mahakavyas. The Bhagavata tradition is a continuation of pancharatra tradition. Hence, a number of terms of pancharatra theology are introduced in Bhagavata. It is difficult for an average reader to comprehend the deeper philosophical and theological implication of these terms and the discourses on philosophy and theology. Bhagavata Tatparya nirnaya explains these quoting appropriate authorities of pancharatra tradition.

Out of eighteen thousand verses of Bhagavata sixteen hundred verses only are selected for comments in this work. Such verses only that are significant from philosophical and theological point of view are selected for comment. These comments are of four types:

i) The special meaning of certain important words are given
ii) The special point made by a word or phrase or the verse is explained
iii) The theological and philosophical doctrines are explained
iv) The expressions and phrases that are likely to be given advaita interpretation are examined and their correct import is explained.

In majority of cases all these points are supported quoting appropriate authorities. The remarks made are brief but the authorities quoted are long. Sri Madhavacharya quotes from 380 works, in his 37 works. Among these, quotations from 224 works are given in Bhagavata tatparya nirnaya which has a rich reference to philosophical and theological doctrines.

In the first volume Skandhas I to III were given. In this second volume skandhas IV to VIIIare given.

The IV Skandha contains the episodes of the incarnation of Datta Atreya, Daksha’s sacrifice, Dhruva, King Vena and his mis rule, the episode of King Prithu, Prachetasa and Puranjana.

The V skandha contains the episodes of King Priya Vrita, Rishabha, Bharata and a detailed description of Bhumandala, particularly, Jambu dvipa and Bharata varsha. There is a charming description of mountains, rivers, natural gardens, trees and Islands.

The sun, moon, stars and planets, are described. There is also the description of Netherlands and the hells.

The Sixth Skandha gives the story of Ajamila, the birth of Vrtrasura, preparation of Vajrayudha, the story of Chitraketu who was born as Vritrasura later, and the birth of Maruts.

The seventh Skandha contains the episode of Jaya and Vijaya the gate keepers of Vaikuntha being born as Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha, the birth and education of Prahlada, his devotion to Narayana, the incarnation of Narasimha to destroy Hiranyakashipu and his death.

This skandha closes with the episode of Tripuradahana i.e., the destruction of three cities constructed by Mayasura. At the close the Varnadharmas and Asrama dharma are given in detail.

A detailed summary of these Skandhas is given in the introduction to the third and fourth volumes of Bhagavata already published. Here, these are very briefly stated as a background to highlight the points made in Bhagavata Tatparya nirnaya of these Skandhas.

The elevanth skandha commence with an interesting episode of the birth of a musala i.e. mace. At Pindaraka ksetra the sages Vasistha, Vamadeva, Atri etc had gathered to take a holy bath. Young Yadavas also had arrived at that place. These young boys wanted to play a little fun with the sages. They made Samba the son of Jambavati to wear the garment of a young woman, appear as a pregnent woman and asked the sages whether she will deliver a male child or a female. The sages were hurt by this joke and retorted that she will deliver a mace that will destroy the entire Yadu race. The Yadava boys pounded mace and threw it in the sea. A piece of it was eaten by a fish. A fisherman cought it and used it for his arrow. It is this musal that destroyed the entire Yadu race and it is the arrow made out of a piece of mace that led to the departure of Sri Krsna
