Sri Swarna Varna Tirtharu

Sri Swarna Varna Tirtharu guided the ashram with great wisdom, providing counsel to kings and traveling extensively across neighboring states. During a visit to Shivanasamudra, he famously discovered a young, highly talented boy studying under Sri Purushottama Teertha and miraculously brought him back to Srirangam. This boy was ordained as Sri Lakshmi Narayana (later the legendary Sripadaraja), whom he proudly designated as his successor before entering Brindavana in 1420.
