"Woman: Shared Sensibilities, A Collective Voice for Equality"
In the 17th century, Sri Srinivasacharya, a man of great learning, experiences severe stomach ache as he spreads false propaganda about Vijayadasa due to the pride of his scholarship. He was later saved from death by the grace of Gopaladasa and Vijayadasa. Following their instructions, he goes to Pandarpur, where, by divine blessing, he receives the Pen name "Jagannathavitthala" and continues his practice of Dasa Sankirtana.
ಹದಿನೇಳನೇ ಶತಮಾನದ ಮಹಾ ಪಂಡಿತ ಶ್ರೀನಿವಾಸಾಚಾರ್ಯರು, ಪಾಂಡಿತ್ಯದ ಗರ್ವದಿಂದ ವಿಜಯದಾಸರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಸುಳ್ಳು ಪ್ರಚಾರ ಮಾಡಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ನೋವಿನಿಂದ ಬಳಲುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಬಳಿಕ, ಗೋಪಾಲದಾಸರು ಮತ್ತು ವಿಜಯದಾಸರ ಅನುಗ್ರಹದಿಂದ ಮರಣವನ್ನು ನಿವಾರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು, ಅವರ ಸೂಚನೆಯಂತೆ ಪಂಡರಾಪುರಕ್ಕೆ ಬರುವರು. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ದೈವಾನುಗ್ರಹದಿಂದ ಜಗನ್ನಾಥ ವಿಠಲ ಎಂಬ ಅಂಕಿತವನ್ನು ಪಡೆದು, ಶ್ರೀ ಜಗನ್ನಾಥ ದಾಸರನ್ನಿಸಿ ದಾಸ ಸಂಕೀರ್ತನೆಯನ್ನು ಮುಂದುವರೆಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.
