Narayana is never without His consort, Goddess Lakshmi. Goddess Lakshmi is referred to as "Shri". Even in addressing people, we call him "Shrimaan...." this is just to ensure that the person being referred to is blessed with the grace of Goddess Lakshmi. 

Here, Nayarayana is also referred similarly. And, the addressing goes on for three times. 

I  bow to such a feet. I take shelter in such a feet.

His wife is Kamala - Goddess Lakshmi, who sits on the lotus flower. He has the face like a lotus flower. He tends lotus. He loves lotus flower. He has eyes like lotus flowers. He sits on a lotus posture. He rides on Garuda, the eagle. He has a lotus flower coming out of his Navel. 

I pray for your lotus feet.

He is the one who brings good fortune  to yogis. He is the supreme one. He is the great soul who is everywhere. He has the shape of the atom. He is the one who makes the atom what it is. He is the one who is there in Tiruvenkatagiri - Tiruppati.

Interesting points to note from the Kriti: 

Shriman Narayana : His name gets addressed three times to start with. This is a song which is typically sung as 'suprabhata' to Lord Venkateswara of Tiruppati. The Lord Venkateswara is like a King. And, it is a typical thing to address the king three times as the king comes into the court. Shri Annamacharya has structured the kriti as if he is addressing the Lord coming into the court where thousands of devotees are waiting. And, he is addressing the Lord three times. 

Kamala : The usage of this term in the anupallavi is beautiful.'Kamala' is used a total of eight times in the Anupallavi. "Srimannarayana" in sanskrit is called "Ashtakshara" - the mantra with 8 letters in it. It is only fitting that the Kamalavasa's connection with Lotus flower is mentioned eight times : 

Kamala Sati - with a wife "Kamala"

Mukha Kamala - with a face like lotus

Kamala hita - He does good deed like a lotus flower; He is soft like a lotus flower; He tends to Lotus

Kamala Pirya : He loves lotus

Kama Lekshana - with eyes like lotus flower

Kamalasanahita - in the lotus posture

Kamala nabane - with a navel from which a lotus flower springs up

Pada kamalame - The one with the lotus feet 

Paramanu rupa : Shri Annamacharya lived in the 15th century. From 1408 to 1503. That time, the scientific world did not even know of 'Atom'. But, here is the 15th century poet and he is beautifully talking about the basic building block of life and how Tiruvenkatapati is there in that building block also.

Global Hindu Demographics

INDIAN HINDU ROOTS RELIGION IS THE OLDEST & LARGEST RELIGION OF THE WORLD. THEN WHY INDIA IS NOT DECLARED AS A HINDU COUNTRY?

Hinduism third (?) largest religion of world: Pew research.

But 'Indian-Hindu root religion' is still the largest religion of world if you consider Hindus (15%) + Buddhist (7%) + Other Religions (nearly 1% most of them are Sikhs, Jains etc) + Religiously Unaffiliated (16% most of them are in China and hide their practicing Buddhist culture due a oppressive Communist Govt & others actually follow the offshoot of Hindu faiths)……… SO THERE IS AT LEAST 35% INDIA ROOTS RELIGIONISTS IN THIS WORLD LARGER THAN 32% CHRISTIANS AND 23% MUSLIMS SO FAR.

PTI | Washington | Wed Dec 19 2012 :: Hinduism is the third largest religion of the world after Christianity and Islam and 97 per cent of all Hindus live in three Hindu-majority countries : India, Nepal and Mauritius, according to a study.

India, which accounts for majority of world's Hindus, is also home to almost all the major religions of the world, a Pew research said Tuesday.

Pew demographic study 'based on analysis of more than 2,500 censuses, surveys and population registers' finds 2.2 billion Christians (32 per cent of the world's population), 1.6 billion Muslims (23 per cent), 1 billion Hindus (15 per cent), nearly 500 million Buddhists (7 per cent) and 14 million Jews (0.2 per cent) around the world as of 2010.

In addition, more than 400 million people (six per cent) practice various folk or traditional religions, including African traditional religions, Chinese folk religions, Native American religions and Australian aboriginal religions.

An estimated 58 million people ' slightly less than one per cent of the global population' belong to other religions, including the Baha'i faith, Jainism, Sikhism, Shintoism, Taoism, Tenrikyo, Wicca and Zoroastrianism, to mention just a few, it said.

Pew said overwhelmingly, Hindus and Christians tend to live in countries where they are in the majority.

Ninety seven per cent of all Hindus live in the world's three Hindu-majority countries (India, Mauritius and Nepal), and nearly nine-in-ten Christians (87 per cent) are found in the world's 157 Christian majority countries.

The median age of two major groups 'Muslims (23 years) and Hindus (26)' is younger than the median age of the world's overall population (28), it said adding that all the other groups are older than the global median.

Read Original PEW Reports: The Global Religious Landscape | Global Hinduism | Global Buddhism | Religiously Unaffiliated | Global Christianity | Global Muslim | Folk Religionists | Other Religions

Hindu Existence Post Script:

Why the 1 (one) billion Hindus of the world have not a single Hindu Country for their own?

If the 32% stake holders Christian has about 30 declared Christian Countries (157 Christian-majority nations) in this world….

The 23% stake holders Muslims have 57 declared Muslim Countries….

The 7% stake holders Buddhists have 8 Buddhist Countries….

The 0.2% stake holders Jews have 1 Jews Country….

Actually, 'India root religion' is still the largest religion of world if you consider Hindus (15%) + Buddhist (7%) + Other Religions (nearly 1% most of them are Sikhs, Jains etc) + Religiously Unaffiliated (16% most of them are in China and hide their practising Buddhist culture due a oppressive Communist Govt & others actually follow the offshoot of Hindu faiths)……… SO THERE IS AT LEAST 35% INDIAN-HINDU ROOTS RELIGIONISTS IN THIS WORLD LARGER THAN 32% CHRISTIANS AND 23% MUSLIMS SO FAR. As Pew is a Christian affiliated organisation, it addresses the crisis and problems before the Christianity in order to propagate the Christianity in a top place. Within this theoretical module the 'Indian Roots Religions' are shown in an easy fragmentation quite unopposed.

The existence Aryavarta-Bharat-Hindusthan-India solely depends upon the Hindu Majority and an establishment of a Hindu Rashtra in Bharat. We have to encounter forceful conversion of Hindus into Islam and Christianity. Until and unless a meaningful Dhramarashtra on the basis of Hindu principles is established here the entity of Hindusthan will be always challenged by the Islam, Christianity, Communism, Consumerism and Corruption. We should compete our vision to make a Hindu Rashtra in Bharat within 2025. Jayatu Jayatu Hindu Rashtram.

Then why 15% Hindus of global population have no rights to have their own Hindu Country? Why the delay of declaring Bharat as a Hindu Rashtra? WHY???
- Struggle for Hindu Existence.

ಮಲಪ್ರಭಾ ನದಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಉತ್ತರಗಾಮಿಯಾಗಿ ಪ್ರವಹಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಇದನ್ನು ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಕಾಶಿ'ಎಂದೂ ಕರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಈ ಊರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ದ್ರಾವಿಡ ಮಾನಶೈಲಿಯ ಹಾಗೂ ನಾಗರ ಶೈಲಿಯ ದೇವಾಲಯಗಳು ಕಂಡು ಬರುತ್ತವೆ. ದ್ರಾವಿಡ ಮಾನಶೈಲಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಿರೂಪಾಕ್ಷ, ಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾರ್ಜುನ, ಜೈನ ದೇವಾಲಯಗಳಿದ್ದರೆ ನಾಗರ ಶೈಲಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಗಳಗನಾಥ, ಕಾಶಿ ವಿಶ್ವೇಶ್ವರ, ಕಾಡಸಿದ್ದೇಶ್ವರ, ಜಂಬುಲಿಂಗ ದೇವಾಲಯಗಳಿವೆ. ಈ ಮೂಲಕ ಈ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರವು ದೈವ ಭಕ್ತರಿಗೂ ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ಹತ್ತಿರ ಎಂದು ಅನಿಸಿಬಿಟ್ಟಿದೆ.

ಎರಡು ಲಕ್ಷ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ ಹಿಮಯುಗದ ಅಂತ್ಯಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಳೇ ಶಿಲಾಯುಗದ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯ ಜನರು ಈ ಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದರು ಎಂಬುದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿಯಾಗಿ ಮಲಪ್ರಭಾ ನದಿ ದಂಡೆಯ ಬಳಿ ಶಿಲಾಯುಗದ ಆಯುಧಗಳು ದೊರಕಿವೆ ಎಂದು ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಹೇಳುತ್ತದೆ. ಕಬ್ಬಿಣಯುಗದ ಶಿಲಾ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯ ಕಲ್ಲಿನ ಕೋಣೆ, ಗೋರಿಗಳು, ಪಟ್ಟದ ಕಲ್ಲಿನ ಹತ್ತಿರ ಇರುವ ಚಾಚನ ಗುಡ್ಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತು ಅಕ್ಕರಗಲ್ ಗ್ರಾಮದ ಶಂಕರ ಗುಡ್ಡದ ಹತ್ತಿರದಲ್ಲೂ ದೊರೆತಿರುವುದಿರಿಂದ ಇತಿಹಾಸದ ಕುರಿತು ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ಹೊಂದಿರುವ ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ಮಂದಿ ಇಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.

ಮೂರು, ನಾಲ್ಕನೆಯ ಶತಮಾನಗಳೆಂದು ಹೇಳಲಾಗುವ ಆಯುಧಗಳು ಸಂಗಮೇಶ್ವರ ದೇವಾಲಯದ ಮುಂದೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಜೈನ ದೇವಾಲಯದ ಮುಂದೆ ದೊರಕಿವೆ. ಪಟ್ಟದ ಕಲ್ಲಿನ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಆಕರ್ಷಣೆ ವಿರೂಪಾಕ್ಷ ದೇವಾಲಯ ಇದನ್ನು ಚಾಲುಕ್ಯ ಇಮ್ಮಡಿ ವಿಕ್ರಮಾದಿತ್ಯ ಮೂರುಸಲ ಪಲ್ಲವರನ್ನು ಸೋಲಿಸಿ ಅವರ ರಾಜಧಾನಿಯಾದ ಕಂಚಿಯನ್ನು ವಶಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡ ನೆನಪಿನಾರ್ಥವಾಗಿ ಅವರ ಮಹಾರಾಣಿಯರಾದ ಲೋಕ ಮಹಾದೇವಿ ಮತ್ತು ತ್ರೈಲೋಕ್ಯ ಮಹಾದೇವಿಯವರು ಈ ದೇವಾಲಯ ಕಟ್ಟಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಎಂದು ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಹೇಳುತ್ತದೆ.

'Argument wins the situations but loses the person. So when arguing with your loved ones, remember that situations are not more important than your loved ones...'

Namaskara!!!

Correct Method & Science of Doing Namaskara to God.

 

What is the correct way of paying doing Namaskar ?

A. 'While paying obeisance to God, bring the palms together.
1. The fingers should be held loose (not straight and rigid) while joining the hands or palms.
2. The fingers should be kept close to each other without leaving any space between them.
3. The fingers should be kept away from the thumbs.
4. The inner portion of the palms should not touch each other and there should be some space between them.
Note: The stage of awakening of spiritual emotion (Bhav) is important to the seeker at the primary level. Hence, for awakening spiritual emotion (Bhav), he should keep space in between the joined hands, whereas a seeker who is at the advanced level should refrain from leaving such space in between the palms to awaken the unexpressed spiritual emotion (Bhav).

B. After joining the hands one should bow and bring the head forward.

C. While tilting the headforward, one should place the thumbs at the mid-brow region, i.e. at the point between the eyebrows and try to concentrate on the feet of the Deity.

D. After that, instead of bringing the folded hands down immediately, they should be placed on the mid-chest region for a minute in such way that the wrists touch the chest; then only should the hands be brought down.

Underlying Science in this action:

A. The fingers should not be stiff while bringing the palms together because this will lead to a decrease in Sattva component from the vital and mental sheaths and thus increase the raja component in them. By keeping the fingers relaxed, the subtlest Sattvacomponent will get activated. With the strength of this energy, embodied souls are able to fight powerful distressing energies.

B. In the Namaskar posture, the joined fingers act as an antenna to assimilate the Chaitanya (Divine consciousness) or the Energy transmitted by a Deity. While joining the palms, the fingers must touch each other because leaving space between the fingers will result in accumulation of energy in that space. This energy will be immediately transmitted in various directions; therefore the seeker's body will lose the benefit of this potent energy.

C. About the space to be maintained between the palms:
For a seeker at the primary level, it is advisable to leave space between the palms; it is not necessary for a seeker at an advanced level to leave space between the palms.

D. After joining the palms, bow a little. This posture puts pressure on the navel and activates the five vital energies situated there. Activation of these vital energies in the body makes it sensitive to accepting sattvik frequencies. This later awakens the 'Atma shakti' (i.e. soul energy of an embodied soul). And later, Bhav is awakened. This enables the body to accept in large measures the Chaitanya emitted by the Deity.

E. Touch the thumbs to the mid-brow region. (Please see images above.) This posture awakens the Bhav of surrender in an embodied soul, and in turn activates the appropriate subtle frequencies of Deities from the Universe. They enter through the 'Adnya chakra' (Sixth of the 7 chakras in the Kundalini) of the embodied soul and settle in the space parallel to it at the back interior of the head. In this space the openings to all the three channels converge; namely, the Moon, the Central and the Sun channels. Due to the movement of these subtler frequencies in this space, the Central Channel is activated. Consequently it facilitates the speedy transmission of these frequencies throughout the body, leading to purification of both the gross and subtle bodies at the same time.

F. After doing Namaskar, to completely imbibe the Chaitanya of the Deity (that has entered the hands by now), instead of bringing the folded hands down immediately, place them on the mid-chest region in such a way that the wrists touch the chest.

The 'Anahat chakra' is located at the centre of the chest. Akin to the Adnya chakra, the activity of the Anahat chakra is also to absorb the Sattva frequencies. By touching the wrists to the chest, the Anahat chakra is activated and it helps in absorbing more of the Sattva component.


Effect of this Posture:

By doing Namaskar in this manner, the Deity's Chaitanya is absorbed to a greater extent by the body, as compared to other methods of doing Namaskar. This gives maximum distress to negative energies. The negative energies that have manifested in a person are unable to touch their thumbs at the mid-brow region in Namaskar. (The negative energies are subtle. But at times they enter an individual's body and manifest it. - Editor)'

Q. What is the reason for not wrapping a cloth around the neck while performing circumambulation, doing Namaskar, ritualistic worship, sacrificial fires, chanting and while visiting Guru and deities?

A. When a cloth is wrapped around the neck, it does not activate the Vishuddha chakra (in the throat region) and hence an individual gets less benefit of the Sattva component.

(More information on this is given in Sanatan's Publication 'Part 3: Vol 29: Bhaktiyoga 4: 'Spiritual Science in the ritualistic worship with sixteen substances'.)

(Ref: Sanatan's Publication - 'The Correct Methods of Paying Obeisance')

Hari Sarvothama Vayu Jeevothama

|| Hari Sarvottama ||
• Lord Vishnu is the all-pervasive Lord who is the maintainer of the universe and the complete cosmic creation.
• He is also called Narayana, which means the shelter, resting place or ultimate goal of all living entities. It also means the one whose abode is the causal waters (Karana Ocean), and one who lives in the hearts of all living beings.
• He is also called Hari, or one who removes the darkness of illusion. This illusion ultimately means the idea that the living beings live separate from, or without connection to, the Lord.
• Hari is the Deity worshipped in the Vedas and their scriptural adjuncts.
• He is the Supreme Lord, and is the only entity primarily praised in all true scriptures.
• Hari is the Lord, is the Cause, the Protector, and the Destroyer of all Creation known and unknown, and is responsible for all bondage and liberation.
• He is beyond the scope of all that is destructible and indestructible, and His worship is the purpose of one's existence.
• He is free of all flaw, and has an infinite number of good attributes.

According to Sri Madhwacharya, Vishnu is "worshippable by all (other) deities, and by everyone, to their best ability." Thus, other deities are worshiped only as iconic representatives of the Lord and not as independently authoritative figures. However, Mâdhvas believe that all deities except for Vishnu's eternal consort Lakshmi, are amukta-jîvas (un-liberated souls) performing service to Him.

Mâdhvas recognize a "târatamya" or divine hierarchy of deities after Vishnu, which is derived from shâstra sources, and said hierarchy is very important in considerations of worship, since each lesser deity is worshipped as the iconic representative of the next higher one (rûpam rûpam pratirûpo babhûva, as the Veda says), with the idea being that all worship is ultimately meant for Vishnu only.
Following is the hierarchy of Taratamya Devataas

1. Hari alias Vishnu (Sarvottama)
2. Mahalakshmi
3. Brahma and Vayu
4. Saraswathi (Brahma Pathni) and Bharathi (vayu Pathni)
5. Garuda, Shesha and Rudra
6. Krishna's shanmahishi's: Nila, Bhadra, Mitra Ninda, Kalandi, Lakshna, Jambavathi, tulasi
7. Swuparni (aruda Pathni), Varuni (Shesha Pathni) and Parvathi (Rudra Pathni)
8. Indra and Kama
9. Ahamkarika Prana
10. Daksha, Anirudda (Kamaputra), Rathi (Kamapathni), Swayumbhuva Manu, Bruhaspathi, shachi (Indra pathni)
11. Pravahavayu
12. Surya, Chandra, Yama and Shataroopa (Swayambhuva Manu pathni )
13. Varuna
14. Narada
15. Bhrugu, Agni and Prasoothadevi ( Daksha Pathni)
16. Sapta Rishi's, Prahlada and Vyvaswathamanu
17. Mitra, Niraruthi, Pravahidevi (Pravahavayu Pathni) and Tara (Bruhaspathi Pathni)
18. Vishyaksena, Ganapathi, Ashwini Devataas (Nasathya and Dhasra), Kubera and Shata Devataas.
19. Karmaja Devataas.
20. Parjanya, Gamga (Varuna Pathni), Samja (Surya Pathni), Rohini (Chandra Pathni), Viradusha (Anirudda Pathni), Shamala (Yama Pathni)
21. Kurmadhiankayatha Devathas
22. Svaha (Agni Pathni)
23. Budha
24. Devaki, Yasodha, Usha (Ashwini Devathas Pathni)
25. Shanaishchara, Dhara
26. Pushkara
27. Ajanaja Devataas
28. Chirapithru's
29. Deva Gamdharvas
30. Manushya Gamdharvas

II Sri Veda Vyasa II
Vyasaya Vishnu Roopaya, Vyasa Roopaya Vishnave
Namo vai Brahma Nidaye, Vasishtaya Namo Namaha


5000 years ago, at Kalapriya nagari on the banks of the river Yamuna, there resided a fishermen community and their chief was 'Dasha', who used their boats to ferry people across the river. Satyavati Devi, was the foster daughter of fisherman Dasha .
One day Sage Parashara, son of sage Sakti, and grandson of Sage Vashishta, on his way to his ashram at Parashana approached fisherman Dasha and asked to be ferried across the river Yamuna. As Dasha was having his dinner he asked his daughter Satyavati to take the Sage to the other side of the river. As guided by the Almighty, Parasara with a view to marry Satyavati, got down along with her on an island in the river. Just then Sage Vashishta, Yagnavalkya and other sages arrived there and duly conducted the rites associated with marriage. Sri Veda vyasa manifested as a divine child to Satyavati by a mere touch of Parasara. This was no ordinary birth. Lord Sri Vedavyasa, blue in complexion and born in lineage of Sage Vashishta, came to be known as Vashishta Krishna. Having been born on an island, He is also known as Krishna Dwaipayana.
Brahma, Rudra and other gods in heaven rejoiced and celebrated the birth of Sri Vedavyasa, Jnana Avatar of Lord Vishnu. In Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya Sri Madhvacharya beautifully describes the first glimpse of divine Sri Vedavyasa.

Bala Veda Vyasa forced himself into maturity. He instantly grew from a child into a mature young adult by his sheer will of power. Sage Parashara and Satyavathi performed the upanayanam for Veda Vyasa. For having performed the upanayanam, Sri Veda Vyasa blessed his father Parashara with knowledge about Sri Narayana. He had fixed his mind on ascetism. Before leaving, Sri Veda Vyasa gave a boon to his parents by promising to appear before them when they desired to see him. Sri Veda Vyasa's ashram is at Badri in the Himalayas and still inconspicuously lives in Badri Ashram beyond the eyes and reach of mortals.

Sri Veda Vyasa Jayanti is celebrated on Vaishaka Shukla Trayodasi

Works of Sri Veda Vyasa (Source: http://srivedavyasa.org/)
Sri Veda Vyasa divided and re-arranged the Vedas into four Vedas. He taught the four Vedas to his four disciples(Rig Veda to Sage Paila, Yajur Veda to Sage Jaimini, Sama Veda to Sage Vaisampayana, Atharva veda to Sage Sumantu) and entrusted them to teach it to the world.
Sri Veda Vyasa composed the Brahma Sutras to render the correct import of the Vedas for the benefit of the competent souls. They are also called Vedanta Sutras, since they guide the enquiry about the true conclusion of all the Vedas. The Brahma Sutras are 564 and are divided into four chapters (adhyayas).

|| Vayu Jevothama ||
Vayu is the life – "praana" for the entire creation. Without "Praana" life will become stand still. The existence of a person is due to "Praana Shakthi". Vayu Deva is unequaled in knowledge (Tatwajnana), Hari bhakti, Dhairya (firmness), Sthairya (Steadiness), Parakrama(valour), Vega (switness), Laaghava (brevity), Panditya (scholarship), Patutwa (skill proficiency), Prabhutwa (Lordship), Shooratwa (Heroism, Valour) as well as bhala (strength). Therefore he is no doubt the energiser of this entire creation.
Prathamo Hanuman Nama Dwitheeyo Bheema Eva cha
| Poornapragna Treetiya thu Bhagavat Karya- saadah ||
The first Avatar of Sri Vayu is Hanumantha. His wonderful feats and service to Rama Devaru are described in RAMAYANA.
The second Avatar is Sri Bhimasena, in Dwapara Yuga, Sri Vayu Deva appeared as Bhimasena and played the most important part in the destruction of the enemies of God.
Thus, he served God as Hanuma in Ramayana, as Bhima in Krishnavatara and as Madhwa, served Lord Vedavyasa Devaru. He is the greatest spiritual benefactor of mankind.


The Philosophy of Sri Madhwacharya is simple, easy and very convincing vedanta, called "Dvaita or Tattva-vada". To quote Sri Madhwacharya from his 'VishNu-tattva-vinirNaya'

jiiveshvara bhidA chaiva jaDeshvara bhidA tathA |
jiiva-bhedo mithashchaiva jaDa-jiiva-bhidA tathA |
mithashcha jaDa-bhedo.ayam prapaJNcho bheda-pa.nchakaH ||
Paramopanishad
The difference between the jîva (soul) and Îshvara (Creator)
the difference between jaDa (insentient) and Îshvara
the difference between various jîvas
the difference between jaDa and jîva
the difference between various jades
these five differences make up the universe."
Madhwa philosophy is summerised in the following sloka, attributed to Sri Vyasa Tirtha :-

ಶ್ರೀಮನ್ಮಧ್ವಮತೇ ಹರಿಃ ಪರತರಃ ಸತ್ಯ೦ ಜಗತ್ ತತ್ತ್ವತೋ
ಭೇದೋ ಜೀವಗಣಾಃ ಹರೇರನುಚರಾಃ ನೀಚೊಚ್ಚಭಾವ೦ತತಾಃ |
ಮುಕ್ತಿರ್ನೈಜಸುಖಾನುಭೂತಿರಮಲಾ ಭಕ್ತಿಶ್ಚ ತತ್ಸಾಧನ೦
ಹ್ಯಕ್ಷಾದಿತ್ರಿತಯ೦ ಪ್ರಮಾಣಮಖಿಲಾಮ್ನಾಯೈಕವೇದ್ಯೋ ಹರಿಃ ||
