CHAPTER VIII
-
CONCLUSION
The foregoing study of the U峁Ｄ乭ara峁嘺-k膩vya into respective chapters
makes it evident that Trivikrama Pandita though a staunch philosopher,
combines in himself all poetic talents of a Mah膩kavi. Trivikrama Pandita
has inherited marvellous personality with which human beings are rarely
gifted.
I. No doubt, the poet Trivikrama Pandita has supplied a little information
regarding his family heritage in the introductory verses to the
U峁Ｄ乭ara峁嘺-k膩vya. He has said that Subrahmanya Pa峁囜笉ita was his father
and the preceptor too. He belongs to the family of scholars by name
Likuca. Besides, the Sumadhvavijaya an epic poem of N膩r膩ya峁嘺 Pa峁囜笉ita,
the son of Trivikrama Pa峁囜笉ita, narrates the life account of the poet in
detail. On the basis of this authentic source, it is said that Trivikrama
Pandita was born in a village K膩vu or Kavagu岣穒, lying about two miles
north of the modern town of Kasargod. This poet flourished from 1258
A.D. to 1320 A.D. Other than the U峁Ｄ乭ara峁嘺, Trivikrama Pandita has to
his credit one philosophical work viz. Tattvapradipa, a lucid commentary
on Madhva's Brahmas奴trabh膩峁�ya; and three stotra-texts viz., Nrsimhastuti,
Vi峁ａ箛u-stuti and Vayu-stuti.
II. The U峁Ｄ乭ara峁嘺-k膩vya runs into nine cantos. The First Canto begins
with gods' approach under the leadership of Brahm膩, to Lord Vi峁ａ箛u. They
praise the glory of the Milk Ocean and of Lord Vi峁ａ箛u. They earnestly ask
Lord Vis峁噓 for the protection of good souls on the earth from the clutches
of wretched demons like Kamsa. Then Lord Vi峁ａ箛u incarnates as K峁涐梗峁嘺
and kills Kamsa.
