Summary
While I am setting out to make a garland out of the gems of the life history of Sri Madhva, let the great persons forgive over and over, my narration of earlier incidents later and later incidents earlier, caused due to enthusiasm and feeble vision.
The author opines that just as the position of the gems in a garland is immaterial as long as the gems are priceless, the change in order of narration doesn’t effect the great story line of Sri Madhva as each incident is invaluable.
