PooRvashram Name- Vitalacharya- 30th Pontiff of Sri Raghavendra Mutt. Took ashram from Sri Surendrathirtha-(1504-1575) -. "The illustrious exponent and post-Vyasaraya champion of Madhwa Sidhdhantha. Vijayendra Thirtha was a sarvatantra-Swatantra, a master of the 64 arts,(Chatush shashti Kalavidha), a winsome and magnetic personality and author of over 104 works, In the eyes of his contemporaries he was verily an incarnation of Sri Madhwacharya come to reinforce his own sidhdhantha against contemporary opposition".- in the words of Dr B N K Sharma. Sri Vijayendra was dear to the masses as he was to the classes and the intellectuals- a true Yogi" SaRva bhutahite ratah" and therefore reverenced by all. KumbakoNam holds his name and his memory in the deepest love and esteem to this day. Dr B NK Sharma narrates that he with his own eyes has seen, the revered Sankaracharya of the Kamakoti pitam at Kumbakonam dismounting from his palanquin and walking a small distance near the entrance to the mutt of Vijayaendra and his brindavan there, whenever he had occasion to pass through the mutt of Vijayendra, while proceeding to visit his numerous disciples resident in the Solayappa street further west. It is the life crowded with spectacular achievements of such an unforgettable personality who lent light and glory to one of the most brilliant periods in the history of south India in the golden age of Viajayanagar and post-Vijayanagar periods of Indian History. Sri Vijayendra was not a bigoted sectarian. He was the very essence and embodiment of catholicity of outlook. This is shown by his generous patronage of scholars of different persuasions and the uniformly friendly relations he maintained throughout his life with his greatest adversary in thought-Appayya Dikshitha He listened to Sriman Nyaya Sudha Paata from his Guru Sri Vysarajar 9 times. There is a syaing that there was no scarcity in places where he per4formed "sanchaara" They say there is "Bhootha rajara sanchaara: near the banks of the river the Kaveri. After sun sut, we rarely see people moving in that area. ( Page 30, Dvaitha Darshana) Composed songs also. He was the disciple of Sri Vyasaraya and performed Vyasanga under him- and a was a great debater and defeated noted Appayya Dixit. The Book "Ajayya Vijendraru" by Sri Raja S Gururajacharya is worth reading. 1978 published by Sri ParimaLa Samshodhana and Prakashana mandira, Nanajangud)- Gave ashram to Sri Sudheendrathirtha ( 1614-1621) who subsequently gave ashram to Mantralaya Sri Raghavendrathirthar (1621-1671).
