RELEASE OF SIRIBHUVALAYASAGARA RATNAMANJUSHA [A BIRD'S EYE-VIEW OF KUMUDENDUMUNI'S SARVABHASHAMAYIBHASHA SIRIBHUVALAYA] - The Tenth Wonder of the World - BY PROF.G.VENKATASUBBAIAH AT HIS RESIDENCE ON 12.01.2014 IN BANGALORE

English Translation: KAVI SURESH, SHIMOGA

Sarvabhashamayibhasha Siribhuvalaya (the tenth Wonder of the World) is an ancient book written by Kumudendu Muni in Kannada numerals. The present book, 'Siribhuvalaya Sagararatnamanjusha' authored by Sri Sudharthi of Hassan is the 7th in the series. This introductory Book translated to English by Kavi Suresh of Shimoga gives a broad picture of all the books brought out by Sudharthi of Hassan on Siribhuvalaya. This is the only poetry in numerics (that too in Kannada) in the entire world and it has to be considered as an encyclopedia of the world. This contains about 16,000 pages; the volume of original Kannada verses in Siribhuvalaya is 6,00,000. The original author (Kumudendu Muni) states that by a systematic de-codification of this poetry in numerals one can get the literature of about 718 languages! This is really a challenging task to those who are genuinely keen to unearth its hidden treasure. Sri Sudharhi of Hassan has spent over 27 years on this work and has been able to present many of its hidden information within his own limits. He needs to be congratulated for this great effort. Those who are keen to pursue this further and who desire to have copies of his works may contact him on phone: 08172-257186 or Sri Kavi Suresh on phone: 08182-223670
