Vyasaraya Tirtha or
Vyasatirtha (1460–1539) (also known as
Vyasaraja,
Vyasaraayaru), a
Haridasa, was born at Bannur in the
Mysore District of
Karnataka state. He is regarded as one of the foremost
dialecticians in the history of
Indian philosophy. He belonged to the
Dvaita school of
Madhvacharya. He along with
Jayatirtha, helped in systematizing Dvaita into an established school of
Vedic thought. Vyasatirtha's genius lay in his clear understanding and exposition of all his opposing schools of thought, for which even his opponents admired him. He was a master at debate and dialogue in logic and philosophy. ==Lyrics==
