MADHAVACHARYA AND HIS YOUNGER BROTHERS
23
We may now proceed to give the few new items of information about Sîyana which can be gathered from the stanzas given as illustrative examples in the Ala akára-sudhanidhi. From the following stanza we learn that Sayapa had three sons named Kampana, Mâyana and Singana, and that the first son was a musician, the second a poet and the third a Velio student. -
तत्संव्यंजय कंपण व्यसनिनः संगीतशास्त्रे तव प्रीढि मायण गयपद्यरचनापांडित्यमुन्मुद्रय। शिक्षा दर्शय शिंगण क्रमजात्रचर्चासु वेदेष्ठिति
स्वान् पुत्रानुपलाल यन् गृहगतः सम्मोदते सायण: ॥ Kampana was apparently so named after Sliyapa's patron Kampapa, father of Sangama II. Mayana was already referred to and identified with Madhava, the author of the Sarvadarśanasangraha. That the king Kampara died either before Sangama II was born or when he was a mere child, and that Sayada administered the kingdom as regent during the minority of Sangama II, may be inferred from these verses.
संगमेंद्रनरेंद्र त्वय्यकृतास्वपरिमहे । विधायो धुरमगात् स्वाराज्यं कपण, कथं। सत्यं महीं भवति शासति सायणायें संप्राप्तभोगसुखिनः सकलाश्च लोकाः॥ शौर्योच्छृखलसंगमेश्वरमहासाम्राज्यसंपादनप्रोत्सावणमंत्रिवर्वरभसभुण्णक्षमासंपदा।
गूढ काननगरेषु चरतामस्माकमाननेभिक घनगर्जितैर्मदनकिंवा सहतेहथैः ।।
साबणसचिवायत्तं संगमराजस्य पश्य राज्यमिदं । The following verses show that Siyana himself taught Sangama II from his childbood and gave him a liberal education befitting his position. -
बाल्येऽपि प्रतिबोधयस्यवहितं श्रीसंगमक्ष्मापति बोधैकास्पद सायणार्य भगवचासावतार...॥ आन्वीक्षिक्यामधिकविहतो हर्षशोकव्युदासे मागोल्लेखं विश्धति नृणां मानवे धर्मशास्त्र। सम्यकशिक्षा सचिवगमितः पेशवे सायणार्य
पौर्दि गावां प्रकटयति ते संगमेंद्र प्रयोगे ।। The epithet भगवतपासावतार, an incarnation of Vy.sa, applied to Siyana, is noteworthy. His martial valour and conquests are referred to in the following extracts.
अमुं शमितशाअवस्थिरभुजावलेपोदय समीक्ष्य युधि सावणं समधिको भवहिस्मयः। नखामहतवैरिणो नरहरेहरस्थाथवा नवांबुजवळोलसन्नबनमात्रदग्धादिषः॥ . जगवीरस्य जागति कृपाणः सावनप्रभोः। किमित्येते वृधाटोपा गति परिपंधिनः॥ भाकर्ण्य यात्रापटहप्रणादानपोडनिस्तव साबणाई । अरण्यसिंहररिभूपतीमामाहन्यते चित्रगतोऽपि हस्ती ।। समरे सपत्नसैन्य सायण तव बिंबितं वहन् खजः। क्रीडति कैटभरिपुरिव बिभ्रत कोडे जगच जलधौ ॥ दिष्टषा दैटिकभावसंभृतमहासंपविशेषोदय
जिस्वा चंपनमर्जितवशा प्रत्यागतः सावणः॥ The last verse refers to a victory gained by Sayaņa over a king named Champa. A king called Vira-Champa, the son of a Chôļa king, is mentioned in an inscription, of Saka
