Thanks DRS for the masterful rendition of AcArya's stotra ratnam. I am sure it will be practised and sung by all our CM Rasikas. Here is my encomium
kA tE stutiH ambE stavya parAparOktiH |

Meaning
Oh Mother! What stotra is there worthy of praise for you (who is yourself) the embodiment of all uttered and unuttered words!
How can you be sung about who is beyond even OMkAra!
You who is the one residing in the heart of all people in the form of intellect!
Except for (our) reciting like a parrot what shrIkAnta has sung (in praise of you) through your grace!
Prostrations to you again and again who is sporting (on the banks of the mighty) TungabhadrA.

Prashant, here's the translation for these verses:
|| Rathnagarbha GanesAnam Chandramoulincha ShAradha
Vandhe Jagadhgurum SarvAm ShAradhapeetha Susthitha ||
"I bow in reverence to Rathnagarbha Ganesha, Srimad Chandramoulishwara, Sharadamba, and all the Jagadgurus that are enshrined at Sringeri Sharada Peetam."
|| Rishyashringa PurAdheesham TungAteera NivAsinam
BhakthA Modapradham Vande Shri VidyAteertham Mahagurum ||
"I venerate that great preceptor, Shri VidyaTirtha Mahaswamin, the Lord that reigns at RishyaShringapura (actually Kigga, but can also refer to Shringa-giri) who lives on the banks of the sacred river Tunga, and who blesses his devotees with all happiness."
I'm not sure if this verse refers to Shri Vidyatirtha Mahaswaminah, the 10th Peetadhipathi, the Guru of Shri Bharati Krishna Tirtha and Shri Vidyaranya and whose Adhishtanam is the famed Shri Vidyashankara temple or to Shrimad Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal, the 35th Peetadhipathi and the Guru of Shrimad Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal.

Baboosh, the original location of Sharada Peetam is at Sringeri only. Sharadambal's feet got stuck in the sands of the TungaBhadra and Acharyal installed Amba on the banks of the TungaBhadra. In Sharada Bhujanga Stotram, in the second verse, Acharya says "Purastreem Vinidram Puras Tungabhadram". Kudali (to meet in Kannada) is on the confluence of Tunga and Bhadra rivers. But Acharya did not establish any Mutts there. It was in Sringeri that he established the Sharada Peetam. Moreover, Sringeri was one of Acharya's favourite places since he stayed there for about 12 years, quite a long time considering the short span of his incarnation. Impressed by the sanctity of the place and perceiving the divine presence of the Jaganmatha, he carved the ShriChakra on a rock and installed a sandal image of Sharadambal here. The present Mutt at Kudali is a branch of the Sringeri Mutt that came into existance during the time of Sri Vidyaranya.

Thanks DRS! This is a great gift for the oncoming Pooja season. Here is the combined consolidated audio
http://rapidshare.de/files/32092444/Sha ... mbined.mp3
I have tried to normalize as far as possible.
Could somebody (meena?) consolidate the shlokas as well as the ciTTasvarams into one nice document with dEvI's picture imbedded. I am sure we will hear the renderings by some of our Rasikas soon.

Sudarshan,The present mutt is on the banks of Tunga river and also when Sharadambal stood transfixed at the confluence of tunga and bhadra as per Guruvamsa kavya this could have got shifted from Kudali .No one really knows.Also Sharadambal is in a sitting posture at present shringeri which is not as per history you mentioned.

Baboosh, according to the Madhaviya Shankara Vijayam written by Sri Vidyaranya, the 12 pontiff of Sringeri Sharada Peetham, it was only at Sringeri that Acharya established the Sharada Peetam. Amba found in Kudali is in the standing posture, which corroborates with the anklets-stuck-in-stand story. Acharya consecrates Amba there and later comes to Rshyasringapura (Sringa giri) and sees a snake providing shelter to a pregnant frog from the scorching sun. Astounded by this unusual phenomenon, Acharya thought it was best to establish an Advaita Matham here where even natural enemies behaved in total cordaility. The Kudali Mutt also does not lay any claim to its establishment by Adi Acharya. The Guruvamsa Kavya itself there are some issues per se which are quite incorrect. For instance, it mentions that the Chandramouliswara Lingam in worship at the Sringeri Mutt was gifted to Acharya by Revanna Siddheshwara - a Veerasaiva siddha. It is a well-known fact (also documented in Sivarahasya) that the Chandramoulishwara spatika lingams were given to Acharya by Parameshwara, which he installed in all the four Amnaya Peetams.

Sudarshan,All indological scholors and even the mutts including Sringeri were holding the view that Adi sankara was born before Christ.Only later Sringeri mutt changed the date to A.D. as there were some gaps and some Acharyas were credited with 800 years of pontificateship.
As proof of the same Shri.Nrisimha Bharathi,the Acharya who built the shrine to Aryamba at Kaladi,composed a verse at the time of Kumbabhishekam where it was clearly mentioned that Parameshvara took birth seeing the evils of kali as Adisankara 2000 years before.
This was mentioned in a tableau at the shrine but removed later.Still it is available in certain publications of the mutt.

The date of Adi Shankara one of the most controversial topics and is still open to question. One of the authentic versions of Adi Shankara's charitra is the Madhaviya Shankara Vijayam, which was written by one Madhava who later became Sri Vidyaranya, the 12th Peetadhipathi of the Sringeri Mutt. It is well documented that the Vijayanagar empire came into being around the 14 century, which was also Sri Vidyaranya's time and that he was instrumental in establishing it. If Adi Shankara advented before Christ, there must have been several Peetadhipathis in between him and Sri Vidyaranya and the latter could not have been the 12th peetadhipathi. The Vidyashankara temple in Sringeri was built over the adhishtanam of Sri Vidyatirtha, the 10th Acharya. This was built by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha, the 11th Peetadhipathi, and has sculptures of all the Acharyas of the Peetam beginning from Adi Shankara to Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha. Sri Vidyaranya was the purvashrama brother of Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha and also his successor to the Peetam. Going by these, it seems quite possible that Adi Shankara existed around the 8th century. But as I said earlier, this is one of the most controversial topics and a valid date is yet to be arrived at. If this is solved, there might be several questions answered including the debated history of the Kanchi Mutt.

The Vidyashankara temple at Sringeri shows a very marked influence of hoysala style, although it is not a typical hoysaLa temple. In fact, Harihara and Bukka were the generals of the last Hoysala king Veera Ballala III. I am not sure if there are any rock inscriptions at the temple, ( very likely since Hoysala temples generally have).
If this was indeed built by the 11th acharya, then a 8th century date for Sankar seems more likely.

Sri Vidyashankara temple has a unique style of architechture with a combination of the Hoysala and Dravidian styles. The temple is supposed to resemble the geometry of the Shri Chakra. There are inscriptions found in the temple. It is actually the adhishtanam of Sri Vidyatirtha, the 10th Acharya of the Peetam. In Simhagiri near Narasimhavanam, there is unique idol called Chaturmurthi Vidhyeshwara. This idol was commissioned to be sculpted by Sri Vidyatirtha. The east face of this idol has Sri Vidya Tirtha along with his disciples, Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha and Sri Vidyaranya. The south, west and north faces have sculptures of Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara respectively. On the head of Sri Vidya Tirtha is Lakshmi Narasimha. Above all these, on the top most is a Lingam. Sri Vidya Tirtha went into a cave and entered lambika yoga and instructed to close the cave and not to open it for 12 years. If done so, after 12 years, his mortal form would assume the form of the above-described Chaturmurthi Vidhyeshwara. But some curious people opened the cave much before and found only the Lingam to be formed with the rest of the form incomplete. The Acharyas were informed and they concluded that nothing could be done about it and as a tribute to their great guru, they built a temple over the adhishtanam, which is the present Vidyashankara temple.

I just listened to the combined audio today. Good work, drshrikaanth, nice transitions between the rAgAs.
Speaking of compositions of ShringEri jagadgurus, the ShAradA gItam "shaaradaamba sharadindunibhaanana ", is a wonderful hymn by them and MLV has rendered it melodiously in her album, dEvI kadamba mAlA.
