One of the most popular works of shripadaraja is madhvanama. This is a kannada poem extolling vayu devaru and his three incarnations. It follows the structure of shri hari-vayu stuti and was composed by shripadarajaru for the benefit of those who dont know sanskrit and / or are not allowed to recite the vayu-stuti.

One has to remember that shripadarajaru was an amsha of dhruva, an aparoksha gyani, a very great scholar and the vidya-guru of shri vyasaraja. So, his description of vayudevaru and his three incarnations, is bound to be complete and flawless. The fact that another great aparoksha gyani – shri jagannatha dasaru – has written the phala-stuti of this work is a testimony to its potence and greatness.

madhwanama(Kannada lyrics)

Jaya jaya jagatrana, jagadolage sutrana
Akhila guna sadhdhama madhvanama

Ava kachchhapa rupa dinda landodakava
Ovi dharisida sheshamurutiyanu
Avavana balivididu hariya suraraiduvaro
A vayu namma kula guru rayanu || 1 ||

Avavanu dehadolagiralu hari ta nelesihanu
Avavanu tolage hari ta tolaguva
Avavanu dehadolahorage niyamakanu
A vayu namma kula guru rayanu || 2 ||

Karanabhimani suraru dehava bidalu
Kuruda kivuda mukanendenisuva
Parama mukhyaprana tolagala dehavanu
Aritu penanendu pelvaru budhajana || 3 ||

Surarolage nararolage sarvabhutagalolage
Parataranenisi nemadi (niyamisi) nelesiha
Hariyanallade bageyanannyaranu lokadolu
Gurukulatilaka mukhya pavamananu || 4 ||

Harige chudamaniyanittu harigala kudi
Sharadhiyanu katti bahu rakkasaranu
Orisi ranadali dashashirana hudigutti ta
Mereda hanumanta balavanta dhira || 9 ||

Uragabandhake siluki kapivararu mai mareye
Taranikulatilakanagneyane tali
Girisahita sanjivanava kittu tanditta (tanditta)
Harivarage sariyunte hanumantage || 10 ||

Vijaya raghupati mechchi dharanisuteyaligiye
Bhajisi mouktikada haravanu padeda
Ajapadaviyanu rama koduvenene hanumanta
Nijabhakutiyane bedi varava padeda || 11 ||

Marulagi karakariya madalavana
Garadimaneyolu barasi orisi avananvayava
Kurupanattida mallakulava savarida || 18 ||

Kouravara bala savari vairigala neggotti
Orante kouravana muridu mereda
Vairi dushyasanana ranadali edegedehi (todeya laddagedahi)

Harhididu shiroratna kitti tegeda
Niroladagidda duryodhanana horagedahi
Uruyuga tanna gadeyinda murida || 22 ||
