| His parents got
another son, as was prophesied. After becoming a sanyasi Purna Pragna went on a pilgrimage. First he attended the Maha-Makham festival at kumbha Konam. This is a festival held once in twelve years at the place. Achyutapreksha found his pupil very intelligent. His learning and his power of argument astonished him. So he made Purna Pragna the head of the Mutt over which he presided. At the same time he gave him the new name Ananda Tirtha. This is the name under which the great Acharya wrote all his books. Ananda Tirtha’s name became famous. Many pupils came to study under him. He taught them the new meaning he found in the sastras. |
