(Special Series of Articles commemorating the Maha Kumbhabhishekam of Shri Sureshvaracharya Adhishtanam Shrine at Shri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham Shrimatham, Kanchipuram on 03.5.2024)

Shri Jnananandendra Sarasvati wrote a commentary named Chandrika on Shri Sureshvaracharya’s Naishkarmya siddhi. We conclude with his tribute to Shri Sureshvaracharya as “The sagara which gave Naishkarmyasiddhi which is like amrta to the learned, I worship that ocean of immortal jnana Sureshvara”

नैष्कर्म्यसिद्ध्यभिधया सुधया सुधियां ददौ। योऽमृतत्वं नमामस्तं सुरेश्वरसुधानिधिम्॥

The concluding section of Naishkarmya Siddhi Sudha Vyakhya published in 1891 Bombay Central Govt Book Depot further establishes that the name of the Guru of Shri Jnanottama is Shri Satyabodha. The verse says that the arguments of Purvamimamsa, Baudshas, Prabhakaras and Naiyayikas and Vaisheshikas was defeated by Padakashata, of Satyabodhacharya the abode of yama and niyama. The next verse also refers to the author as सर्वज्ञाश्रमचन्द्रमास्त्रिजगतीसर्वज्ञचूडामणिः
