The mother regarded her son 艢补峁卥补谤补 as the idol of Divyama峁単ala. He looked like the rising the sun and the moon鈥檚 glory radiated in his eyes.^[1] The child 艢补峁卥补谤补 was a luck to the beholder鈥檚 eyes and a place of refuge to the pious people. The presence of 艢补峁卥补谤补 brought out solace to the minds of sad people. He had gentle and wide eyes, beautiful lips and cute nose. Milk teeth appeared in his mouth. His father 艢颈惫补guru took him to temple of V峁涐梗膩cala to pray. Thereafter one day a storm roared in the village. But it didn鈥檛 hurt little 艢补峁卥补谤补. At that time the villagers brought 艢补峁卥补谤补 to home.

The boy 艢补峁卥补谤补 recited Stotras of 惭补丑腻迟尘腻蝉 by sitting on his father鈥檚 lap. While worshiping the temples, others looked at him with wonder. 艢补峁卥补谤补 never went out to play with other children. He did not have childish thoughts and interests. Whether it is good or bad the character is formed as a result of one鈥檚 interaction with society. The smell of water is made up of flowers like Jasmine. If one among 鈥榯win parrots is brought up in a Brahmin鈥檚 house, it behaves differently than the other one which is brought up in a hunter鈥檚 house. Situation constitutes a person and the situations must influence a person.

Upanayana of 艢补峁卥补谤补

Within his first year, this child who was God 艢颈惫补 embodied as the son of Brahmana parents, showed himself proficient in languages. By the second year, he could recite all the texts he heard and showed an untaught mastery over the 碍腻惫测腻蝉 and 笔耻谤腻峁嚹乻. Both the scholars and pupils began to respect the genius of 艢补峁卥补谤补. What more to say, before completing the age of three he acquired the knowledge of 滨迟颈丑腻蝉补, 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 and other branches of studies.^[2] As 艢补峁卥补谤补 had not performed his Upanayana so he didn鈥檛 practice the holy Veda. Though he became a scholar, he used to listen carefully his father鈥檚 words. 艢颈惫补guru was very anxious about his son鈥檚 Upanayana. But before the Upanayana 艢颈惫补guru died with great sorrow. His mother 膧ry膩mba became very sad. But she concealed her sorrows from her son. 膧ry膩mba completed 艢颈惫补guru鈥檚 funeral ceremonies with the help of her relatives. She spent a whole year in observance of vows and ceremonies connected with his obsequies. After that she began to think alone conducting the Upanayana of her son. In the fifth year she conducted the Upanayana of the boy. All the relatives supported that ceremony.^[3] Very quickly he learnt the four Vedas and six 艢膩str膩s from the Guru. His progress in study was so rapid that within two or three months. He was equal to Guru in knowledge. In the knowledge of Veda he was like Brahma, of its auxiliaries like 骋腻谤驳测补, like Jaimini, and of philosophy, like Badar膩ya峁嘺. The depth of his learning was too great that he looked like the very embodiment of 痴测腻蝉补. Gradually he learnt logic, Yoga philosophy, Sa峁卥ya philosophy of Kapila, and 惭墨尘腻峁僺补 doctrines as expounded by 叠丑腻峁�峁�补. But 艢补峁卥补谤补鈥檚 interest and joy was in the Advaita non-dualistic doctrine of the 鲍辫补苍颈峁�a诲蝉.

Kanakadh膩ra Stotra

When residing in Guru鈥檚 house, the boy 艢补峁卥补谤补 went with a fellow student to the house of a poor Brahmana for 叠丑颈办峁Ｄ�. At that time the lady of the house said with utmost humility to the Brahmac膩ri峁僺 鈥楩ourtunate indeed, is the person who gets an opportunity to offer hospitality to Brahmac膩ri峁僺 like you. But we are accursed beings whom poverty has deprived of the resources for the same. Vain is our birth as human beings鈥�. After that the lady presented a mere gooseberry to them with a heart writhing in pain born of the thought of her utter poverty. 艢补峁卥补谤补, touched by the poverty of the family, instantaneously composed a great hymn (碍补苍补办补诲丑腻谤补-stotra) on 尝补办峁�m墨, goddess of wealth and good fortune and prayed for the relief of the family. Soon the Goddess herself appeared before him. The boy prostrated before her and stood in humility. The Goddess said, 鈥業 have understood what you want of me. But how can the couples become the object of my attention when they are devoid of any good acts that would make them eligible for the same? Hearing these words the child 艢补峁卥补谤补 said: 鈥極 mother! they have made a gift of a gooseberry fruit to me. If Thou art pleased with me, though shouldst bestow on them the reward for this gift of theirs鈥�^[4] Hearing these pleasing words, the Goddess immediately filled the house of the Brahmana with pellets of Gold resembling gooseberry, to the utter astonishment of all onlookers. After that incident they all began to praise the boy saying 鈥樑毑贯箙k补谤补, you are like a Kalpataru, has brought prosperity to this place. He has endeared himself to the Brahmanas and the Devas by bringing wealth with which Vedic sacrifices could be performed鈥�. In this manner the old people of Kaladi, who know traditions and fables of the village, venerate a house in the village as that fortunate one blessed by 艢r墨 艢补峁卥补谤补. They call it 鈥楽varnathumana鈥�, 鈥榓 house of gold鈥�. It is also known that the house remained very rich, all these centuries. Having gained the blessings of the Brahmanas and the 顿别惫腻蝉, 艢补峁卥补谤补 continued his study under his teacher.
