The Madhvanama is a devotional hymn, written by Sripadaraja. It glorifies Vayu as the 'embodiment of auspiciousness', and as the 'primary arm' of Vishnu.[citation needed]
Etymology
[edit]In Kannada, the word 'nama' simply means name, so the word Madhvanama refers to the names of Mukhyaprana or Vayu.[citation needed]
Meaning
[edit]The hymn starts with -
jaya jaya jagatrANa,
jagadoLage sutrANa,
akhila guNa sadhdhAma
madhvanAma[citation needed]
Which essentially means -
"May he grant us good fortune, the one who provides sustenance to the world, who is the most powerful amongst all jIvas, the abode of all (good) qualities, the one having the name of Madhwa."[citation needed]
The stotra continues, with the divine deeds of Vayu, Hanuman, Bhima and Madhvacharya respectively.
Some lines from the Madhvanama include -
"Ava kachchhapa rUpa dinda lanDOdakava
Ovi dharisida shEShamUrutiyanu
Avavana baLiviDidu hariya suraraiduvaro
A vAyu namma kula guru rAyanu"[citation needed]
Which means - "The one who took on the shape of a tortoise and supported Sesha, by staying near whom lesser gods reach Hari, that vAyu is the chief amongst the gurus of our sect."[citation needed]
The rest of the hymn consists of events from the Ramayana and Mahabharata, and the great deeds of Hanuman, Bhima and Madhvacharya.
Phala Stuti
[edit]The end of the shloka ends with a 'phala stuti' composed by Jagannatha Dasaru, which states -
Anybody who writes or reads this stOtra will get a benefit equal to offering a thousand cows to learned and worthy brahmins, during a solar or lunar eclipse, on the banks of the celestial river Ganga, and dedicating that to Lord Mukunda (nArAyaNa).
Those without children will get good children; they will be victorious everywhere, all their enemies will perish, and untimely death will be scared to approach them. All these benefits will accrue by praying to sUtranAmaka (vAyu).
This madhwanAma told by shrIpAdarAjaru will destroy all sorrows, provide all types of happiness and well-being, and in addition, will show you shrIpati jagannAthaviTThala and take you out of this well (or ocean) called samsAra.
