Sri Harivayu Stuti of Trivikrama PanDitacharya is a daily Stotra, recited by us after Upanayanam. It is composed by Trivikramacharya, in praise of Guru Sri Madhvacharya, in 40 Shragdhara verses. It was a thanks giving offer by him to a Guru who brought him on the path of Realism from that of Mayavada – of Illusion, of which he was a master, earlier.
One anecdote related to this Stotra is lke this.Panditacharya saw his Guru Madhva performing Pooja, behind a screne, as it was his way of Upasana & Naivedya, each day. He peeped inside with curiosity. He saw to his surprise, Acharya doing pooja inn3 Roopas of Hanuma, Bhima & Madhwa to 3 forms of the Lord- Rama, Krishna & Vedavyasa respectively. He was awe-stuck and these 40 verses in Sragdhara ( Garland) came out from his heart soaked in Bhakti to this Jeevottama Vayudeva. He was waiting for an opportunity to show this Manuscript to Acharya.
Acharya saw this & blessed him, smiled and composed a Preface to this as he felt it was incomplete without Hari Stuti. He composed a Shloka : Pantvasmaan Puruhootavairi….. and touched the manuscript in complete blessing.
There are only 40+1 Shlokas in the original Ms of Harivayu Stuti. Later a shloka composed by Madhva was added , ‘ Lakshmeekanta samanatato….. Which forms a part of Harivayustuti now. Earlier, Nakha Stutiis counted as one among Sarvamoola Texts. Another point to be noted is as per Udupi version the Shloka Pantvasman… ends with bhooribhaagai: , instead of Nakivrundai: as we have learnt. Both words mean same,
Hereafter 2 Shlokas of Sri Harivayu Stuti will be posted here. I seek the blessings of my Guru, Paramaguru & Acharya for this small attempt by me, a small fry in Tatva Vada.

ಶ್ರೀಮದಾಚಾರ್ಯರು ಮೊದಲ ಶ್ಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ನರಸಿಂಹ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಹೀಗೆ ಸ್ತುತಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ: ಇಂದ್ರಶತೃಗಳಾದ ಮದಿಸಿದ ಆನೆಗಳಂತಿರುವ ಅಸುರರನ್ನು ಸೀಳುವುದರಲ್ಲಿಪಳಗಿದ ಸಿಂಹದ ಉಗುರುಗಳಂತೆ ನರಸಿಂಹನ ಉಗುರುಗಳು ಚೂಪಾಗಿದ್ದು, ಅವು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡಲಿ.
2.೨. ಹೇ ಲಕ್ಷ್ಮೀಪತೇ! ನಾನು ನಿನಗೆ ಸಮಾನವಾದ ಬೇರೆ ಉತ್ತಮ ವಸ್ತುವನ್ನು ಕಾಣಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ.( ಪುರುಷೋತ್ತಮ ನೀನು) ಇದು ಯಾವ ಶಸ್ತ್ರದಲ್ಲೊ ಕಾಣಸಿಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಆರು ರಸಗಳಿಗಿಂತ ಉತ್ತಮನಾದ ಎಂಟನೇ ರಸದಂತೆ ನಿನಗಿಂತ ಅಧಿಕರಿಲ್ಲ. ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಾದಿಗಳು ನಿನ್ನ ಎದಗಣ್ನಿನ ನೋಟದಿಂದಲೇ ( ಪ್ಭಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ) .ನಿನ್ನ ಸಮರಾಗಲಿ ಅಧಿಕರಾಗಲೀ ಯಾರೂ ಇಲ್ಲವೇ ಇಲ್ಲ. ( ರಸ ಎಂದರೆ ಉಪನಿಶತ್ತುಗಾಲಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಭೂತಿ ರೂಪ. ಆರನೆಯವರು ಬ್ರಹ್ಮ, ಏಳನೆಯವರು ಮಹಾಲಕ್ಷ್ಮಿ ಎಂದು ಚಾಂದೋಗ್ಯೋಪನಿಶತ್ ತಿಳೀಸುತ್ತದೆ. ರುಚಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಆರು. ಏಳು ಎಂಟು ಇಲ್ಲವೇ ಇಲ್ಲ. )
