Dear Swamin,
On going through your mail I am sure it must be from Acharya Madhva which is
known as VSN Bhashya by SathyaSandha. While I will acquire a copy I like to
share the following:
In several texts I have come across attempts have been for translation and
explanation with respect to Sanskrit(?) but Bhattar's is beyond language. For
example the name 'MahAksha' which literally means one with large/big eye(s) as
found several Bhaashyaas. please look at Bhattar's view point.
'Aksha' literally means the axle, a part of chariot.
Here it is used to denote chariot itself by a figure of speech known as
'synecdoche'.
Mahaaksha is none other than Garuda i.e vedas embodied.
Source: BhagavadguNadarpana= adoptation in english by Sri.Sathyamurthy Ayyangar
This is only tip of the iceberg. Bhattar's work is just marvellous, more so for
those who are knowledgeble in Sanskrit.
Happy reading
Regards,
Garudadwajan
