Conclusion
Thus this selection of citations and the examples revealing the versatile scholarship proves H. H. Ṭembesvāmī’s erudite personality in the modern times (1854-1914 AD). Though it has been an humble effort to bring out his contribution to the field of Scriptural as well as philosophical literature of the modern period through very little examples, H. H. Ṭembesvāmī’s erudition is so to say, beyond the pen of even Goddess Sarasvatī.
At this juncture it would be enough to pray to his holy feet (in his own words):
hṛddhyātmendriyavākkāyaiḥ sadā prakṛti bhāvataḥ|
yadyatkaromyarpayāmi parātpandatta sarva te ||89||“O Omni-pervaded Supreme Self (Dattātreya), I dedicate all that to you whatever I do with my mind, intellect, ego, speech and body depending on the nature instinct (As I have shelter in your lotus-feet).” (gurustutiḥ 89)
