Sumadhvavijaya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Madhva Vijaya or the "The story of the victory of Madhva" is a biography of the great Dvaita philosopher Sri Madhvacharya. It is authored by Sri Narayana Panditacharya, who was the son of Sri Trivikrama Panditacharya, one of the direct disciples of Madhvacharya.
Madhva Vijaya is a Sanskrit work and is composed of 16 sargas or cantos. It starts with a description of the first two avatars of Vayu, namely Hanuman and Bhima. It then proceeds to describe the life of Sri Madhva, who is considered the third avatar. Madhva Vijaya contains detailed descriptions of various incidents of Sri Madhva's life and is the only authentic source of information about Madhvacharya that exists. Sri Narayana Panditacharya was a contemporary of Sri Madhva which greatly adds to the authenticity of the work.
