Vallabhacharya
married at the age of 28. He got a son. The son was as radiant as God Vithal himself.
After completing his studies, Vallabhacharya went to Vijayanagar. At that time Krishna Deva Raya was its ruler. He was a patron of
Vidwans or learned men.
He received Vallabhacharya most respectfully.
King Krishna Deva Raya found Vallabhacharya more learned
than any one he had met.
So he seated the Acharya on a golden throne and honoured
him with presents of great value.
The Acharya, however, kept only a small part of it to
himself and distributed the rest among other learned men at the court. |
