History :

Before he took sanyasa his name was Govindashastri. Becoming a disciple of Acharya, he took sanyasa. Neither his native nor the time he took sanyasa is known. After Naraharitheertha, Madhavatheertha ruled Acharya’s samsthana for sixteen years and attained eternal peace at Mannur, a village on the banks of the river Bheema on the day of Amavasya of Bhadrapada Bahula in Vikrithi Samvatsara. After placing Akshobhyatheertha in charge of Acharya’s Mahasamsthana he conferred sanyasa on one Madhuharitheertha and handed over to him the idol of Veera Rama inherited from Acharya. Even now this tradition is continuing as Madhavatheertha Mutt. This is situated in Majjigehalli near Mulbagal.

Being a direct disciple of Acharya, Madhavatheertha must have been a great scholar. Though history quotes him to have written some books, none is available.
