Translation:

 

He is engrossed in worshipping the Lotus feet of the Lord who sits on the king of birds (garuda is the king of birds, and Narayana uses him as his vehicle). Kindness and mercy rise like tides within his mind and he acts on these thoughts. He targets the leaders of opposing debaters who shout and scream their wrong doctines, and defeats them soundly. He is a mine of limitless talent. He is the playground of Sarsawathi, the wife of Chaturmukha Brahma . May that JayatIrtha bless us with the never-ending wealth of extrasensory knowledge about the Lord (that comes by seeing Him with one's own eyes).

· Who was honored by King MadhvAchArya

· Who easily gauged the army-like ocean of shAstras

· Who defeated hordes of opposing debaters with his logic arrows

· Who established the victory pillar of Madhva shastra on Earth.

 

Notes:

 

The metaphors are mixed and a little difficult to comprehend. Shastras are compared to the ocean and an army. The comparison to ocean is very appropriate on several counts. Shastras are deep, vast and difficult to cross, contain many apparently misleading or contradictory concepts (just as the ocean contains sharks and other dangerous animals). In addition, one has to delve very deep into the shastras to obtain pearls of wisdom , and nothing is available on a superficial basis. The comparison to an army is justified because of the hostile debates.

The following verse is there only in the book by Shri PrabhanjanAchArya. Another point against it is that it says the author is some AnappAcharya and not Satya priya tIrtha. So we are merely reproducing it without any comment or translation.
