膧肠腻谤测补 艢补峁卥补谤补 along with his disciples started on a Digvijaya. It is regarded as a missionary tour for the propagation of the Advaita doctrine by controverting all philosophies opposed to it.^[1] He first travelled towards the Setu. By the way, he came across a sect whose followers were 艢补颈惫腻蝉. They drank liquor in their worship like the 艢膩kt膩s. There he engaged a debate with the Brahmanas of 艢腻办迟补 persuasion. After he worshipped 搁腻尘补苍腻迟丑补 at 搁腻尘别艣惫补谤补 艢补峁卥补谤补 travelled through the P膩ndya and Chola countries and reached the city of 碍腻帽肠颈. There he built a temple, for the worship of Devi. He made so many rituals with the Vedic tradition and suited to the attainment of supreme knowledge. He gave up in those rituals every trace of the 迟腻苍迟谤颈办补 modes of worship. Then he worshipped Lord Ve峁僰a峁璦n膩tha, and reached the land of Vidarbha. There Padmap膩da along with his disciples engaged themselves in controverting the perverse doctrines of the Bhairavas. Then 艢补峁卥补谤补 reached the shores of the Western sea. The sea looked like a great opposing controversialist. Its waves were like gestculating hands, and its roar was like sound of argument to the accompaniment of kettle drums. At noisy Gokarna, he took his bath in the sea and worshipped at the shrine of Lord 艢颈惫补.

The 膧肠腻谤测补 at 顿惫腻谤补办补 and at Ujjayini

The 膧肠腻谤测补 and his disciples next travelled through Saurashtra and at last reached the city of 顿惫腻谤补办补. There were Vai峁�nav膩s who bore seal marks of 痴颈峁ａ箛耻鈥檚 emblems like 艢补峁僰丑补, Cakra etc, on their arms, big upright painting on their forehead and Tulasi leaves on their ears. They held the doctrine that salvation is obtained by the recognition of the five differences. They are between God and 闯墨惫补, between 闯墨惫补 and 闯墨惫补, between 闯墨惫补 and insentient objects, between God and insentient objects and between insentient objects themselves. Hundreds of them came forward for arguments and were defeated by the disciples of the 膧肠腻谤测补. After defeating in arguments the sects of Vai峁ａ箛av膩s, 艢补颈惫腻蝉, 艢膩kt膩s and Saur膩s, 艢补峁卥补谤补 reached the city of Ujjayini. To great joy they heard the loud sound of 惭峁沝补峁単补, announcing that the worship of Lord 艢颈惫补 was going on in the great temple of the city. 膧肠腻谤测补 then proceeded to the great temple to adore the Deity 惭补丑腻办腻濒补. After the worship is over, then he adored of all the great sages. Then he called the disciple Padmap膩da and said 鈥渢here is a great scholar named 叠丑补峁�峁�补 叠丑腻蝉办补谤补. Find out and inform him of our presence鈥�. 叠丑补峁�峁�补 叠丑腻蝉办补谤补 was considered a prince among the scholars. He was the author of many works and a victor in numerous debates. Padmap膩da met him and said 鈥淗ere has arrived the Yogi 艢补峁卥补谤补 of world wide reputation who has been touring all over the country. He has defeated the scholars of opposite schools and spread the philosophy of non-dualism. Refuting the interpretations of all other schools he made a commentary of 痴测腻蝉补鈥檚 Vedanta 厂奴迟谤补蝉. And then 叠丑腻蝉办补谤补 replied that 鈥渁s a swan swallows the tender stalk of lotus and performs its dance, your teacher has not yet heard of me who has torn to shreds the false teachings of many sects. Before my teachings even the lusture of the words of 碍补峁嚹乨补. (He is the teacher of the 狈测腻测补-痴补颈艣别峁�i办补 system) falls like that of the moon before the sun. Padmap膩da then returned to his teacher and aquainted all that had happened. Then 叠丑补峁�峁�补 叠丑腻蝉办补谤补 arrived, and then he entered into arguments with 艢补峁卥补谤补 on philosophical and theological doctrines. 叠丑补峁�峁�补 quoted many authors, each was bent on defeating the other. The controversy was unique for subtlety of arguments employed, for the skill convinced in refuting the thesis of the opponent, and for the splendid eloquence and mastery of language they displayed. None could know in the least, on what side victory lay. Gradually before the moon light of 艢补峁卥补谤补鈥檚 dialectics, the lotus of 叠丑补峁�峁�补鈥檚 intellect began to shrink and close and at last he fell into a confused state of mind.

Panegeric of 艢补峁卥补谤补

叠丑腻蝉办补谤补 defeated and converted most of the Brahmins who had broken away from the Vedic principles. They had been misguided by the teachings of the Buddha. Those people were made humble by the great 膧肠腻谤测补 and they accepted the Advaita doctrine. Various doctrines like 艢膩kt膩, 笔腻艣耻辫补迟补, 碍峁�a辫补峁嘺办补, 碍腻辫腻濒颈办补 and Vai峁�nava caused injuries on the body of Vedic religion by their mis-interpretation. It was to save the spirit of Veda that he used the path of arguments and not for gaining fame. Advaita was laid first by 叠谤补丑尘腻 which was guided by 艢补峁卥补谤补 and other 碍耻尘腻谤补蝉 and maintained by 痴腻濒尘墨办颈. By and by it was inflicted by dualistics and pseudo religions. 叠丑腻蝉办补谤补 tried to clear the Vedic thoughts to render the seekers a safety path. 艢补峁卥补谤补鈥檚 growth was fostered by great ethical value. He was brought up as 峁�a峁噈耻办丑补 was by his six mothers. 艢补峁卥补谤补 served advaita wery well. Every one who tried to misguide and misinterpret Advaita doctrine was terrified by the presence of 艢补峁卥补谤补 who was gleaning with the power of spiritual strength. The resounding drum beat announced the 膧肠腻谤测补鈥檚 victory. It was like a roaring forest fire ready to consume all malignant growth of bad doctrines. All other sectarians like Buddhists, follower of 碍补峁嚹乨补, Kapila, 笔补迟补帽箩补濒颈 etc surrendered to 艢补峁卥补谤补, who was the emperor of spiritual realm. The followers of 碍补峁嚹乨补 accepted Vedas later while 颁腻谤惫腻办补 and his doctrines disappeared from the area of philosophy. All other followers of Vedas, followed the path leading to Brahman proclaimed in the 鲍辫补苍颈峁�a诲蝉. 艢补峁卥补谤补鈥檚 mercy and sympathy were worth noticing while he was in company with the sa峁僴y膩si峁僺. All bad doctrines and their apostles met with their doom at the hands of 鈥�King-of-staff-holders鈥�. Advaita thought like ambrosia down poured and put an end to spiritual famine. 艢补峁卥补谤补鈥檚 doctrines destroyed the sprouts of atheism. 艢补峁卥补谤补 taught genuine philosophy and removed the darkness of ignorance from the minds of people.

Ascending the Throne of Omniscience

Next morning 膧肠腻谤测补 and his disciples were assembled near the banks of 骋补峁単补. Some people said that Jambu Dweepa is the most famous region. There 叠丑腻谤补迟补 excels all others. In 叠丑腻谤补迟补, Kashmir is the most famous place. There mother 艢腻谤补诲腻 is present. In that place there is a temple with four gates dedicated to 艢腻谤补诲腻 within is the Throne of Omniscience.^[2] But only an omniscient one can occupy that throne, the entrance to it will not be open to others. Scholars from the East, the West and the North could stand the test to prove their respective directions.^[3] It was said that till now there has been no learned man from the South qualified enough to get the Southern entrance opened. On hearing this news the 膧肠腻谤测补 who came from the South, felt a prompting to get the entrance opened and efface the stigma on Southerners that there never had been a scholar in the south competent to enter through the Southern gate to the throne of omniscience. Soon 艢补峁卥补谤补 started at the temple of 艢腻谤补诲补 in Kashmir. After reaching that temple, people who hailed his advent began to exclaim 鈥淥 elephants of perverse controversialists! Flee from your forest of dualism. For hear comes 艢补峁卥补谤补, the lion ruling over the forest of Advaita, with 蝉补峁僴测腻蝉补 for his terrific teeth, bent upon breaking the foreheads of all of you, elephants of the forest of Dvaita! He is verily like lion that shatters the foreheads of elephants in rut. By his mere look he will put you, jackals of controversialists, to flight.鈥�

Challenge by Scholars

When 膧肠腻谤测补 approached in Southern entrance with a view to open it, that time a set of controversialists stopped him and said 鈥淲here are you going in great haste? You please say what you want? Through thoughtless action, you can achieve nothing. Only one who can establish his claim to be omniscient that is, to be a master of all branches of learning can go in. He will be tested, he says, that 艢补峁卥补谤补 cannot gain entrance here before that. A proud controversialist, an adherent of the school of 碍补峁嚹乨补, which holds there are six categories approached the 膧肠腻谤测补 and said their philosophy, two atoms together form into new atoms subtlety called Dvayanuka or doubled atom. If you are an omniscient, tell me what is it that unites the two Anu鈥檚 or atoms into one unit. If you cannot give a correct answer, them your claim for omniscience is only a bluff publicised by your disciples. Then 艢补峁卥补谤补 replied that the unity is due to something inherent in the atoms.The glorifiers of 碍补峁嚹乨补 then withdrew, saying that the 膧肠腻谤测补 was correct. Then came forward the representative of the 狈测腻测补 school. Gautama鈥檚 school differs in the conception of liberation or mukti from the school of 碍补峁嚹乨补. By narrating the difference please justify your claim to omniscience. 艢补峁卥补谤补 replied that in the view of 碍补峁嚹乨补, liberation or 尘辞办峁�a consists in a state like that of 膧办腻艣补 free from all qualities. 艢补峁卥补谤补 says that both accept 莫艣惫补谤补 or God as the cause of the world. Thereupon the representative of Gautama school of 狈测腻测补 withdrew. The 厂补峁卥丑测补 came forward and said, please say whether P峁沘k峁泃i or Nature is independent or dependent on an intelligent entity? If you are omniscient you must give a correct answer. Then only can you get in. 艢补峁卥补谤补 replied the P峁沘k峁泃i, constituted of the three 驳耻峁嘺蝉, out of which the universe is formed, is independent. But the Vedantists said that it is dependent on 莫艣惫补谤补. Then 厂腻峁卥丑测补 withdrew. Then came two scholars of the famous Buddhists schools of realism and nihilism, declaring that without being tested, you cannot enter the temple. Realism is of two kinds. What is the difference between them and what is difference between 痴颈箩帽腻苍补 痴腻诲补 (idealism) and your philosophy? You please give the correct answers of this questions 艢补峁卥补谤补 replied that the two schools of realism are Saut膩nt峁沰膩s and 痴补颈产丑腻峁�i办补蝉. Both accept the universal impermanence. The difference between them is very little. The 痴颈箩帽腻苍补 痴腻诲补 accept the consciousness as a momentary and perishable one. But the Vedantins maintain it to be unitary and unchanging. But the difference between them is very vast. The 顿颈驳补峁僢补谤补 Jaina approached and asked that if you are a masters of all learning, tell us what is meant by Astik膩ya in our system. In this question 艢补峁卥补谤补 replied that the Jainas speak of five Astik膩yas -J墨v膩stik膩ya, Pudgal膩stik膩ya, Dharm膩stik膩ya, Adharm膩stik膩ya and Akastik膩ya. Regarding the Jaimini鈥檚 doctrine, what is the nature of sound or 艢补产诲补 is it substance (dravya) or quality (驳耻峁嘺)? To this question 艢补峁卥补谤补 answered that 痴补谤峁嘺 is eternal, all pervasive, and graspable by the ear, 艢补产诲补 is its form. Substance (dravya) is all pervasive, according to this school of thought.

Test by 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨

The people who created a controversy in the beginning were then satisfied and they opened the entrance to the temple respectively. When 膧肠腻谤测补 was about to ascend the Throne of omniscience, holding Padmap膩da鈥檚 hand he heard disembodied voice of 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨, the Deity of the temple. One voice challenged him by telling that he was not deserving to ascend the Throne as his life was not so pure. He had to reflect whether he had been absolutely pure in life. Inorder to learn about the sex life he has lived in sexual relationship with women. To ascend the throne, perfect purity of life was a much needed necessity.

To those words 膧肠腻谤测补 replied that he had done no sin with the body of him. He led a sex life when he was in another body. It would not affect of his own body. The voice of 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 was no more audiable. Her voice became silent.^[4] The 膧肠腻谤测补 ascended the Throne of omniscience and spectators praised him lavishly just as 骋腻谤驳测补, Kahola and others did to Yaj帽av膩lkya. They proclaimed that he was a worthy person to the title of omniscience. The praising voice of his followers, dimmed the voice of Kapila鈥檚 and Ka峁嚹乨膩鈥檚 followers. The doctrine of 碍耻尘腻谤颈濒补, 叠丑腻蝉办补谤补 and 笔补迟补帽箩补濒颈, lost their glamour. All the teachings of 碍补峁嚹乨补, Kapila, 叠丑补峁�峁�补 and 叠丑腻蝉办补谤补 were wiped of by the brilliance of 膧肠腻谤测补. Devas in heaven beat drums and its noice reverberated as bursting sounds of clouds and deep roars of ocean. They showered the Kalpaka tree鈥檚 flowers on him.

Fulfilment of Mission and Disappearance at 碍别诲腻谤补

It was 艢补峁卥补谤补鈥檚 doctrines that forwarded him to ascend and adorn the Throne of omniscience. Thus being victorious, he went to Badari, with some of his followers. He deputed his other disciples to 艢峁涐箙gagiri and other places. But at Badari, he taught his Advaita commentary on 厂奴迟谤补蝉 to some followers of 笔补迟补帽箩补濒颈 school. They found his doctrines more acceptable than their own. Thus 膧肠腻谤测补 shone like a moon, who was blessed to self a chance to teach his doctrines to the people who are fit to learn it. He spread he light of his fame everywhere. Thus 艢补峁卥补谤补 who was the great incarnation of 艢颈惫补 reached the thirty second year of his life. He devoted his life completely to practice holiness and to execute noble deeds. During that period he finished his commentaries on Vedic texts. Every learned man accepted it. It helped the humanity to understand what is holiness and what is spiritual freedom and how could they attain those things. 膧肠腻谤测补 could put down the pride of the sectarians, who till then got the respect of ignorant people. 膧肠腻谤测补 renovated the path to salvation, which was made misguiding by the inference of inferior teachers. Now he attained what he dedicated his life for. His noble fame excelled every beautiful and sacred things in the world. His kindness put out the fire of suffering in the hearts of good men. His fame flooded over everywhere. All the devotees could fulfill their expectations and attain salvation by following his ways. Everything was for the welfare of the world.

In 碍别诲腻谤补, the holy land of 艢颈惫补, the cold was so great and his disciples were not able to bear. 艢补峁卥补谤补 meditated on Lord 艢颈惫补 for giving them relief. Out from the foot steps of the Lord came a spring of hot water, that flows as a stream even to this day declaring the glory of 膧肠腻谤测补 艢补峁卥补谤补. At that time there came a encourse of 峁氠梗is and Devas with Brahmanas at their head. The wanted this incarnate aspect of 艢颈惫补 back to His pristine state in 艢颈惫补lok膩s (艢颈惫补鈥檚 abode) in the heaven of 碍补颈濒腻蝉补. The assemblage of luminous chariots filled the heavenly paths. The celestials rained a heavy shower of 惭补苍诲腻谤补 flowers over the region and sang the glory of Lord 艢颈惫补 who had taken the form of Sa峁僴y膩si峁僺. He was the first of Devas and the destroyer of Tripuras. He was the three eyed one, the centre from which the origin, the sustenance and the dissolution of the universe take place. When the Devas addressed Him thus, the great Lord, stirred to the depth of His being, was ready to ascend to His supreme Abode, and there came and stood before Him the divine Bull Nandi, His vehicle, of Swan like whiteness. Indra and his Retinue raised their voice in a chorus of hymns and began to rain flowers gathered from the heavenly Kalpaka tree, and in the midst of the thrilling occurrences, 艢补峁卥补谤补 mounting the back of the divine Bull with 叠谤补丑尘腻 supporting Him, transformed himself into his real form as the great Lord 艢颈惫补 with matted locks and the crescent moon peeping from it. At that time the Devas and the 峁氠梗is cried 鈥淗ail unto Him鈥�, He attained to His Divine Abode.

Then Lak峁�mana S奴rin salutes 艢补峁卥补谤补,who was the son of 膧ry膩mba, who was the Niskamakarmi, who received Sa峁僴y膩sa at the age of eighth, who travelled on the banks of Narmada, who defeated 碍腻尘补 and Krodha, who found out the dwelling of the Guru, who saw Lord 艢颈惫补, who wrote 惭补苍墨峁Ｄ� 辫补帽肠膩 ka, who is having disciples like Padmap膩da, who wrote commentaries at the age of sixteen, who was praised by the 痴测腻蝉补, who defeated Ma峁囜笉ana Mi艣ra, who was the disciple of 叠丑补峁�峁�补p膩da, who propitiated 尝补办峁�m墨 N峁泂i峁僪a, who adorn the chair of 艢腻谤补诲腻 辫颈峁环补, who built 膧膩ram膩s in the 艢r墨峁単eri 辫颈峁环补, who established 艢r墨 Cakra, who came over 艢膩ktey膩s, who acquired the knowledge of Tant峁沘, who destroyed 碍腻辫腻濒颈办补s, who was the founder of the philosophy of Advaita, who made hot water spring in 碍别诲腻谤补, who established so many 惭补峁环腻蝉 and made those well known in different parts of India, one who came as the son of 膧ry膩mba after so many chanting of Mantra, who got the blessing of 尝补办峁�m墨, who released a Gandharva from strong curse, who wrote commentaries on 痴测腻蝉补s奴tr膩s, who got blessings from 痴测腻蝉补, who denied the arguments of 碍补峁嚹乨补 and proved it as a non-sense, who refuted the 艢腻办迟补 religion and who established the Advaita philosophy, I am respecting these qualities of great 艢补峁卥补谤补.^[5]
