Dheera Sri Raghavendra!
Your great elucidation on the sooktas namely Purusha sooktha,Hiranyagarbha sooktha,Ambhrini sooktha,Manyu sookta and Karma sooktha has created such a great impact on the scholars that it has impelled them to immediately think about Lord Sri Vedavyasaru . Such is the greatness of your work!!

He is like the sun in removing the darkness of propagation of untruth; He is like the moon in causing the flowering up of the devotees of Sri Vishnu; He is merciful to the greatest extent. I bow to Sri Guru Raghavendra.

I bow to Sri Raghavendra Swamy of the following reputation:Revered; he guides us in the straight path of truth and good conduct; He fulfils the prayers of devotees completely just like the divine tree (kalpavrisksha) and the holy cow (kamadenu).
