Sumadhwa Vijaya

Madhwa Vijaya or the "The story of the victory of Madhwa" is a biography of the great Dvaita philosopher Sri Madhwacharya. It is authored by Sri Narayana Panditacharya, who was the son of Sri Trivikrama Panditacharya, one of the direct disciples of Madhwacharya. Sri Trivikrama Panditacharya was a famous advaita exponent of his time and converted himself to the Madhwa faith after disputation with Sri Madhwacharya himself for 7-8 days in Kasargod of Kerala. He is also the author of the famous "Vayu Stuti" which is recited by all Madhva devotees , daily, till date.










MadhwaVijaya 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 Madhwa, who is considered the third avatar. MadhwaVijaya contains detailed descriptions of various incidents of Sri Madhwa's life and is the only authentic source of information about Madhwacharya that exists. Sri Narayana Panditacharya was a contemporary of Sri Madhwa which greatly adds to the authenticity of the work. The work contains many personal and intimate details of Sri Madhwacharya's daily routine[1].
