Sri Vadiraja Tirtha Swamiji, is very unique among Madhwa Swamis. his contribution to Sutra Prashana is immense, with vigour. however, many of us are unaware of his unique Index-Anukramanika to Srimad Bhagavata Mahapuranam, which only he could do after Madhva's Tatparya. it is a small yet very useful work in 117 stanzas summarizing the entire content of this Purana Raja.
