Sri Ramabhadra Tirtharu

The twentieth seer in the lineage of Palimaru Matha is Shri Ramabhadra Teertha. Mentored by Shri Raghuttama Teertha, like his guru, he was a matchless scholar. While touring the country, kings and emperors felicitated him for his unfathomable erudition in the treatises. He is an eminent seer who performed Sudhamangala 16 times. His student Shri Raghuvarya Teertha describes him writing thus, “If he stands up for arguments, opponents would crash down as if they were struck by a thunder bolt.He adorned the peeta for 18 years. In Shalivahana shaka 1579 (1657 A.D.) Durmukhi samvatsara magha shukla panchami, he attained the lotus feet of Shri Vedavyasa at Palimaru.
