About Sri Sankarshana Wodeyaru
Poorvashrama name of his holiness was Sri Tammanna Nayak. At his young age, he did sastra pata from Sri Bheema Varaha Acharya. During his yatra to Udupi shetra,Sri Tammanna studied Sarvamoola grantha of Jagadguru Madhvacharya from Sri Visvapriya Tirtha of Sode Mutt. At the age of 32.
Sri Tammanna was given Sanyasa by Sri Sathyaparayana Tirtharu and renamed as Sri Sankarshana Wodeyar.
Sri Sankarshana Wodeyaru was the first saint to write Sanskrit commentary on Harikatha amritha saaraa(called as Kannada Sudha written by great Sri Jagannatha Dasaru) and its the most extensive teeka.
He had taken avatara specially to write a tika on the Harikathaamritha saaraa. His holiness had Sri Sanjeevi Rao as his shishya.
Interestingly his holiness had also written many dasarapadhagalus, few are given below: i) Kollala Noodhutha baro Kamshamardhane Krishna… Sankarshana Vittalane (Kalyani raga)
iii)Bharathi Ramana Dhayamado ni dhayamado ni krupayindha nodo…
After Sri Sankarshana Wodeyaru attained brindhavana in the year 1862,gave dharsan as Rudraamsha to his sincere bhaktha “Sri Venkataramana Acharya”.
After having dharsan of his gurugalu he decided to compose Sri Sankarshana Kavacha,Kalpatharu Stotra,Mangalastaka Navaratnamallika &Mangalastaka on praise of his holiness.
Meaning:Those who chant the divine name of Sri Sankarshana Tirtha will be surely blessed and will always stay happy.Those who chant this Kavacha will be blessed with beautiful baby.
Meaning: I praise my guru Sri Sankarshana, His holiness destroys all our sins, studied veda/sastra to such a great extent. His holiness always do japa of Lord’s name. Apart from above, Sankarshana Navaratna mallika(10 slokas) & Sri Mangalastaka(9 slokas) were other precious work composed by his devotee Sri Venkataramana Acharya.
