Since He possessed intellect more than anyone in the Universe, men of wisdom call him Viśvādhika and Navaśaṅkara. His erudition in composing works such as Rudra bhāṣya is beyond words—immeasurable. The preceptor Viśvādhikendra carrying out the responsibilities of preceptor for fifty-two years, (later) handing over the responsibilities to Bodhendrārya, and proceeding in southern direction reached eternal abode, meditating on Bhagavan Śiva with the crescent moon in the crown, on the banks of river Garuḍa on the eighth day of the black fortnight in the month of Tulā of the year Īśvara.
