Life
editKavindra in his previous stage of life is identical with Viṣṇudāsācārya, the author of the Vādaratnāvalī.[2] The latter is said to be revered by the former.[3][4] Other scholars assert that Viṣṇudāsācārya lived from 1390-1440 .[5]

This selection of Kavindra as the successor of Vidyadhiraja, leaving Rajendra Tirtha resulted in the bifurcation of the Madhva Mathas, namely Vyasaraya Matha at Sosale headed by Rajendra Tirtha and Uttaradi Matha presided by Kavindra Tirtha.
