Sri Sripadarajaru, a prominent yathi in the parampara of Sriman Madwacharya in the lineage of Sri Sri Padmanapa Theertha.

Chintamani, Kalpavruksha, etc. are celestial treasures, would give whatever one wants, when prayed near these.  But, Sri Sripadaraja, fulfills all your wishes by mere darshan of his brindavan or even by mere remembering of him. This is the meaning of the above sloka.

In his poorva avathara of Sri Sripadaraja, as Dhruvaraja, was doing tapas in his tender age to see the Lord.

At the sight of the Lord, Dhruva was dumb founded and could not speak
anything because of over joy. By the grace of Mahalakshmi, he was able to praise the Lord who bestowed him the kingship of the kingdom after which he was made the Emperor of Dhruva Mandala for a period of one Brahma Kalpa, which is 100 years of Brahma.

Dhruvaraja now being the king of Dhruva Mandala is in-charge of controlling the Navagrahas, the Kalachakra, etc. His Loka Dhruvaloka is situated 13 Lakh Yojana above Rushi Mandala from where he controls the movement of Sun, Moon and other planets. Dhruvaraja holds his office of the emperorship of the Dhruvaloka for that period.

Since this is an official post - Dhruvaraja thought that he would not be
entitled to attain Moksha, the desired goal of every soul. He wanted to
know the attributes of God in a disciplined manner during a lifetime in a
place designated for the purpose in the universe i.e. Bharata.
Accordingly, Dhruvaraja came down to the earth in an Amsha and
assumed Sanyasa to complete his Sadana and goes by the name Sri Sripadaraja Theertha.

Sripadarajaru is the incarnation of Dhruva. His contributions to Dvaita, Haridasa Sahitya, and the then existing social and political circumstances were according to a tradition, recorded in the Brahmanya Tirtha Vijaya.

Sri Brahmanya Theertharu and Sri Sripadarajaru were cousins and were roughly of the same age. It is remarkable that both renounced the World and devoted themselves to the cause of their faith and played a conspicuous part in the spiritual development of their gifted disciple Sri Vyaasa Theertha.

Sri Vyasaraja, a perfect and pet shishya of Sri Sripadaraja sings the glory
of his guru in his composition.

 Since the Dasakuta got birth due to him, in the above stotra, his name stands first, which is sung at the beginning of any traditional Harikatha

It salutes 4 great individuals who contribute a lot to the haridAsa movement - Sripadaraja,  Sri Vyasaraja, Sri Purandara Dasaru & Sri Vijaya dasaru.

That is why he is also called as ‘Dasa Pitamaha’ (Grand Father of Dasas).

The moola brindavan of Sri Sripadaraja is at Sri Narasimha Theertha,
Mulbagal.

The present swamiji has renovated the entire complex to look like a
boovaikunta.  It is very much true that whoever visiting Tirupathi,
first visits Sri Sripadaraja then proceed for Srinivasa Dharshan.

 

“tam vandE narasimha tIrTha nilayam shrI vyAsarAja pUjitam
DhAyantam manasa nrusimha charaNam shrIpAdarAjam gurum”

If you chant this in the morning, in addition to the day becoming good you are supposed to eat good food also!
