He was born in a place called Abbur where the brindavana of Brahmanya theertharu is there. Sripadarajaru was famous for the elaborate and rich thirtha prasada taken every day. Even while travelling in dry areas or forests, the situations would be such that pancha baksha paramanna was made available when he performed pooja. Even today it is a custom with many Madhwas to think about Shri Shripadarajaru during lunch time and it is believed that his smarane (thinking about Sripadarajaru) itself will give us a feast. In Mulabagilu, there is also the divine presence of Yoga Narasimha created (drawn) by Shri Vyasaraja Theertharu using an angara. The kalyani there is called Narasimha Theertha. While going to Tirupathi from Bangalore side, devotees make it a point to visit Mulabagilu. It is at a 2 hour drive from Bangalore on one end, and about 4 to 5 hours drive from Chennai on the Old Madras Road. Shri Sripadaraja’s contribution to dasa sahitya (songs) is immense and he wrote songs with the ankitha ‘Ranga Vittala’. He was also the vidya guru for Shri Vyasaraja Theertharu.
