This work is said to have been composed by
Srimadacharya in reply to the remark by some people that he is only
propagating 'Tattvajnana' but is not versed in 'karmakanda' of Vedas.
Being Sarvajnacharya, he had stated in his discourses that all vedic
words have three meanings,the primary meaning being the praise of the
Lord. Srimadacharya has illustrated this in this work. He has chosen a
mantra in a 'chandas'(metre) called 'Mahanamni' which
apparently praises Indra and explained its significance with
reference to Vishnu.. This work illustrates the profoundity of
his knowledge in Vedas. In fact ,while
Shankaracharya has stated that only a few vedic statements are to be
taken as stating real philosophy and the others are 'a-tattvavedaka'
(not having any philosophic import), Sri Madhvacharya has upheld that
all vedic statements are basically stating the philosophic truth of the
supremacy of Vishnu. At the end of the work, Srimadacharya has quoted
his favourite stanzas from ch 15 of the Gita starting with 'dvavimau
purushauloke' to show that the ultimate truth is the supemacy of the
Lord and the principle of 'bheda'.
With this we have concluded the ten works called 'DasaprakaranAs'
by the grace of 'dasapramati' that is
rimadanandatirthabhagavatpadacharya.
'asEshadOhadurAya gunapoornAyaVishnavE nama:h
sriprAnanAthAya bhaktAbheeshtapradAdAyinE'
Note: From the archives,I have
found that a fairly detailed , and clear notes on 'dasaprakaranas'
are given by Sri GV Bindumadhavan which is worth studying..
