Historical Context
Sri Madhvacharya (c. 1199-1278 CE) was a renowned Indian philosopher, theologian, and the proponent of the Dvaita (dualism) school of Vedanta. He established the Dvaita philosophy, which posits a fundamental and eternal difference between God (Vishnu) and the individual soul (jiva), as well as between God and the material world. The Dwadasha Stotra is a collection of his devotional hymns, composed to spread the message of Dvaita and inspire devotion to Lord Vishnu. The 'Tritiya Stotram' is the third of these twelve hymns. These stotras are considered integral to the worship and philosophical teachings of the Madhva Sampradaya.
