Raghunatha Tirtha

Life

Raghunatha Tirtha was a contemporary of Vibhudendra Tirtha, the progenitor of the Raghavendra Math and Sripadaraja, a pontiff of mutt at Mulbagal (now known by the name Sripadaraja Mutt), Vyasatirtha and Purandara Dasa.[3] It so heppened that when Lakshminarayana Tirtha was initiated in renunciation and recognised as Svarnavarna Tirtha's successor to pontificate, he was sent to Vibhudendra Tirtha for higher learning, where he became an expert in Dvaita system.[4] A test of his knowledge was held under supervision of Raghunatha Tirtha. Lakshminarayana excelled in the test by commenting upon a major text of the system. It was Raghunatha Tirtha who conferred upon him the name Sripadaraja or Sripadaraya.[5] Sripadarajashtakam also mentions Sripadaraja's joint pilgrimage with Raghunatha Tirtha to Benares.[5][3] Sripadaraja was a close associate of Raghunatha Tirtha.[3][6][7][3] Raghunatha Tirtha died in 1502 and his mortal remains were enshrined in the mutt at Malkheda. He was succeeded by his disciple.[3]

gollark: I mostly meant that it is quite complex to make and if you want nicer ones you need to throw even more industry at it.
gollark: At some point you probably hit physical limits and have to expand *slower*, but you aren't forced to stop.
gollark: Sure it is. Just expand more. The universe is quite large.
gollark: The smartphone you're probably sending this from is the product of hundreds of billions of currency units of development and capital investment and probably at least 50 countries worth of supply chain.
