Sri Vidyasagara Tirtharu

Sri Vidyasagara Tirtharu Theertha was a famous pontiff who received great honors from the King of Kodagu and the Nizam of Hyderabad, notably adorning the Udupi Shri Krishna temple with silver idols. Gifted with divine sight, he once miraculously detoxified a poisoned fruit offered to him by an enemy. He handed the Samsthana to Shri Vasudeva Theertha before entering Brindavana at Udupi.
