Sri Vadiraja composed this great work, equivalent to sacred text, which bestows supreme felicity, to those who recites it. Pontiff Sri Vedanidhi Theertha [my Guru] listened to Vipra- edamooka, the next morning, and made me to script those surprising utterances which replicated the scenes and speech as heard during dream. Edamooka after uttering the words, as Sri Vadiraja told, and facts as he saw, use to become deaf and mute again. Myself and my Guru are straight and solid evidence to these facts. Highlighting the nature and origin of this magnanimous work, it stands out as straight and concrete evidence to prove its validity. 22nd stanza states that Sri Vedanidhi Theertha selected 15 stanzas from this work, added 3 stanzas of his own, and etched them on stone as “AnuVrindavanaakhyana”, which stands as testimony, even today at sonda. Thus it is proved beyond doubt that Sri Vadiraja had authored this work. Thus Sri “SwapnaVrindavanaakhyana” stands as one of the most solid evidence to establish and proove Rujutva of Sri Vadiraja. This becomes a digestible fact, if one shreds prejudice and open up ones heart to accept the greatness of Sri Vadiraja, as brought out in Akhyana itself.
