Meaning:
In this verse the greatness of the gloss on Nyaaya deepika (a commentary on the teeka of the geetha taatparya of Srimadaacharyaru by Sri Teekakridpaadaru) is brought to limelight by Sri Vadindraru.
The saint opines that the work was composed by Sri Rayaru purely out of his benign attitutde towards the scholars .

Meaning:
Srimadaachaaryaru composed a wonderful work on the first forty sooktas of the Rig Veda known as Rig bhaashya. It is considered to be a pioneering work of its kind.It contains various nuances of the rig veda and had been commented upon by the great teekacharyaru. One day Lakshminarayanacharya ,the poorvaashrama son of the saint had presented a work on the same and His Holiness was extremely pleased by the work.
(Lakshmi naaryanaaya tava tanaya mani satsu sarveshu dhanya…)
The saint wanted that work to be hailed by all at the same time he had also decided to comment upon all the important teekas. So His Holiness decided to compose a work which is popularly known as Rigaartha manjari.
