Kavīndra Tīrtha (Sanskrit:कवीन्द्रतीर्थ); (c. 1333 - c.1398), was a Dvaita philosopher, saint, scholar and the seventh peetadhipathi of Madhvacharya Peetha — Shri Uttaradi Matha from 1392-1398.[1]

Life

[edit]

Kavindra in his previous stage of life is identical with Viṣṇudāsācārya, the author of the Vādaratnāvalī.[2] The latter is said to be revered by the former.[3][4] Other scholars assert that Viṣṇudāsācārya lived from 1390-1440 .[5]
