Before he became the disciple of Acharya Madhwa, he was known as Shobhana Bhatta. He is said to have written many commentaries to Acharya Madwa’s Work.
Even renowned Sri Jayatheertha Teekacharya had acknowledged the greatness of Sri Padmanabhatheertha. He states :
रमानिवासोचितवासभूमिः सन्न्यायरत्नावलिजन्मभूमिः।
वैराग्यभाग्यो मम पद्मनाभतीर्थामृताब्धिर्भवताद्विभूत्यै॥ 5॥
