Vishnu tatwa nirnaya
Vishnutatva Nirnaya” is published in Kannada & Sanskrit PDF Format.
This is the most important of all the Prakaranas written by Acharya Madhwa.
One of the attributes of Narayana is : “He is the One mainly delineated in all the scriptures”. He is the only one Supreme Being, who is beyond the finite world, characterized by both perishable and imperishable realities. This is another of his attributes. The third attribute is that he is a reality, void of all defects and full of all attributes.
First Chapter is very extensive and deals with subjects like the divine origin of Vedas, the permanence of Varnas, the reality of the world, etc. Acharya Madhwa defends his reality of duality of Jiva and Iswara, with all the three kinds of evidence:
Pratyaksha (directly perceived), Anumana (logic) and Agama (scriptural).
Acharya’s attack is frontal on Mayavada or philosophy of Illusion. The books is Ambrosia for the seekers of Madhwa Philosophy.

Mithyatwa Anumana Khandana
Prapancha Mithyatwa Anumana Khandana is published in kannada & Sanskrit PDF Format
This work of Acharya Madhwa deals with the Advaitin’s theory of ‘Jagan mythyatva'(or the world being unreal)’.
Their argument is based on the proposition :
‘Anything that is seen is unreal’
(vishvam mythya drishyatvat)
Advaitins try to substantiate this with the example of ‘a shell appearing like silver when light falls on it’ and professes, likewise the world is unreal.
This logic and proposition is proved to be only on a slippery ground and as such collapse like a pack of cards.

Upadhi Khandana
Upadhi Khandana is published in Kannada and Sanskrit PDF Format
Acharya Madhwa refutes this Upadhi theme, by examining its nature and role.
According to Advaita, Ajnana is the cause of the bondage and its removal is Liberation.
He crisply attacks by pointing out that, the very idea of such nescience descending upon Brahman is unthinkable, unaccountable and impossible.
In Upadhi Khandana, he points out that Ajnana cannot play the role of Upadhi, i.e. as an adjunct to project Brahman as Jiva as well as projection of Jiva and Jagat.
