The number of extant works ascribed to Jayatirtha are 21 in number, 18 of which are commentaries on the works of the 13th century Hindu philosopher and theologian, Madhvacharya. He also crafted three significant independent treatises dealing with the epistemology of Dvaita philosophy and refutation of the ontological aspects of Advaita. His precise and lucid style of writing earned him the distinction of Tikacharya or commentator par-excellence. His works were heavily commented upon by subsequent Dvaita philosophers like Vyasatirtha, Vijayendra Tirtha, Vadiraja Tirtha, Raghuttama Tirtha, Raghavendra Tirtha and Satyanatha Tirtha. [1]
