##(Author Mahamahopadhyaya, Abhinavabhattabana,
Panditaraja, R. V. Krishnamachariar, Kumbakonam.)
A string of twentyone stanzas depicting the greatness of
Sringeri, the grandeur of the Advaita Philosophy enunciated by
Sri Sankarabhagavatpada, the achievements of his successors
in the Sarada Pitha, notably of Suresvara, Vidyaranya
and Sacchidananda Sivabhinava Nrisimha Bharati and of Sri
Chandrasekhara Bharati who is indeed like the lamp lit from
the parent lamp increasing and excelling in all its brightness
and radiance.##
