Sri Vadirajaru was a great Yogi &a genius, who brought Madhva Shastra to commoners. See his Yuktimallika, at a glance. It proves in 5 Sourabhas, the Greatness of Sri Hari by Yuktis (Maxims )., Logic and common sense. It is Philosophy of Common sense.
I am overwhelmed with these two Padyas from Yukti Mallika , which each sensible Madhva should read. I recite these two shlokas each day.
भक्त्या स्तुत्या विरक्त्या भजदमलजनौन्यत्यभूत्यर्पकाय
क्षित्यामत्यल्पभ्रुत्येश्वापि कुजन कुतौद्धत्यभूत्याजकाय ॥
कर्त्रे धर्त्रे च हर्त्रे हयमुखहरयेमुत्र पात्रे नमस्ते
तस्मै कस्मैचिदस्मन्मनसि धृतकथाविस्मृतौ स्मारकाय ॥१॥
A wonderful Mangalacharana by Prasangabharana teertharu ( Swamiji was given a title of an extempore poet of high order), indeed. He prays Lord Hayagreeva with all devotion to remind him, what he might forget to write in this Book of Yuktis, to help Hari Bhaktas & Shut the mouth of Stupid Mayavadins. He is the Creator, Protector, and Dissolves this Universe, and takes very important role in composing this work, Yukti Mallika, a Garland of Yuktis, compared to Jasmine flowers.

न वित्तैरुन्मत्ता न च कुहक दुर्मन्त्रबलिनो

- Sri Rajaru proclaims: We( I am ) are not attracted by money to write this, or inspired by wicked mantra Shakti, not for misleading public, with bad advisers, not based on any wicked Shastra learning, but know you all that we are composing this only by the grace of Lord Hayavadana & could write this work.

श्रीशस्ते सुश्रियं दद्यात् आयुर्वयुसुतप्रिय: : ॥
भूमिं ते वामनो दद्यात् हरीन्हन्तु नृकेसरी ॥॥
