Sri Purushottama Theertharu (VYSARAJA MUTT)

Sri Purushottama Theertharu is tenth in the authorized lineage of Sri Madhvacaryaru. No further information is available.

Sri Purushottama Theertharu lived mostly at Channapatna or Abbur in Karnataka. He had his own monastery, which he later entrusted to his disciple Sri Sridhara Theertharu. This monastery survives today and is called the Kundapura Vyasaraja Mutt. Sri Purushottama Theertharu’s accredited literary work was a gloss on the Tatparya of Sri Jaya Theertharu. He departed the world in 1476 or 1478.
