Once Sri Vadiraja was
observing Chaturmaasya in Pune. There, he came to know that a Vidwat Sabha was
organized to select the greatest Mahaakavya and they were about to announce 'Shishupala Vadha' by Magha a great poet as the Mahaakavya. Sri Vaadirajaru sent
words to the organizers that he too has written a Shastra Kaavya Grantha, which
is kept in Udupi, and asked them to include that also for evaluation for Mahaakaavya. The Organisers agreed and gave him 3 weeks time to bring it from
Udupi.
To everybody’s surprise, Sri Vaadiraja
wrote the entire 'Rukminisha Vijaya' Kaavya within a span of 19 days that too
during his spare time and presented for evaluation. When this work was
presented at the conference, the scholars were swept away by it''s poetic
brilliance and had no hesitation in declaring it as the greatest Mahaakavya in
Sanskrit literature. In accordance with their decision, the manuscript was
taken in a procession around the city on a well-decorated elephant, with a lot
of fanfare and glory.
In Rukminisha Vijaya ,
Vadirajaru has given a clear picture of Sri Krishna’s baalya, his childish
behaviour and his plays with Gopikas.
