Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each work's passages reveal about its stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Bhagavata Tatparya commentary
Composed c. 1620-1671 during Raghavendra's tenure (1621-1671) at Kumbakonam and Mantralayam.
Space
Bhagavata Tatparya commentary
South-Indian Mādhva-Maṭha settings; transmitted across Mantralayam, Uttaradi, Aṣṭa-Maṭha-of-Udupi, Karnataka and Andhra pandit-circles.
Matter
Bhagavata Tatparya commentary
The Bhāgavata-Purāṇa and Madhva's Tātparya-Nirṇaya on it; the disputed scriptural verses; the contested ontological-theological readings (Advaita, Vishishtadvaita, Dvaita).
Observer
Bhagavata Tatparya commentary
Raghavendra Swami as the codifying-pontiff figure of the Mantralayam-Mādhva tradition, working within Madhva-Jayatīrtha-Vyāsatīrtha-Vijayīndra commentarial inheritance.
Energy
Bhagavata Tatparya commentary
Scriptural-devotional and polemical-clarificatory energies; bhakti-toned but argumentatively engaged with rival Vedāntic readings.
Information
Bhagavata Tatparya commentary
Sanskrit purāṇa-sub-commentary; verse-by-verse and topical clarifications; scriptural cross-references; refutations of Advaitin readings.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
Bhāgavata-Tātparya-Ṭīkā consolidates Mādhva-Vaishnavite scriptural interpretation against Advaitin and Vishishtadvaitin readings of the Bhāgavata. The work participates in the broader Dvaita-Advaita-Vishishtadvaita commentarial controversy that organised much South-Indian Vedānta scholarship between the 13th and 18th centuries, and continues to define the boundary between Mādhva-Vaishnavite and Smārta-Advaitin scriptural reading traditions.
