'''Bidarahalli Srinivasa Tirtha''' (alias ''Bidarahalli Srinivasacharya'') (c. 1600 - c. 1660) was an Indian [[Hindu]] scholar and theologian in the [[Dvaita Vedanta|Dvaita Vedānta]] tradition. He is a prolific glossator of the early 17th century. He is the follower of [[Uttaradi Math]] and the disciple of Yadupati. According to tradition, [[Raghavendra Tirtha]] conferred on him the ascetic title of "Tirtha" by way of appreciation of his learning and contributions.{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=495}}{{Sfn|Larson|1970|p=291}}<br />

==Works==<br />
There have been 37 works accredited to Srinivasacharya, most of which are glosses and enjoy widest popularity among the followers of [[Madhva]], on account of their simplicity and directness of exposition.{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=496}} Srinivasa wrote glosses on all ten ''Prakaranas Granthas''. His work on ''Pramānalaksanam'' of [[Madhva]] known as ''Vakyarthakaumudi'' runs to 3000 granthas. His work on ''Viṣṇutattvanirṇayaṭikā'' of [[Jayatirtha]] known as ''Vakyarthadipika'' is a voluminous work and runs to 6700 granthas. His gloss on ''Karma Nirnaya'' of [[Madhva]] runs to 700 granthas. His commentary on ''Tattvoddyotaṭikā'' of [[Jayatirtha]] is a supplent to that of Vedesa's, explaining passages not covered by the latter as well as those which remain stiff even after his explanation.{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=496}} Srinivasa Tirtha wrote glosses on six out of ten Mukhya Upanishads excepting Katha, Prashna, Chandogya and Brihadaranyaka. His gloss on Aitareya Upanishad known as ''Aithareyabhashyartharatnamala'' runs to 7000 granthas and is a voluminous work.{{Sfn|Larson|1970|p=291}}<br />
{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=496}} ''Tattvabodhini'' is his commentary on ''Anubhasya'' of [[Madhva]]. His gloss on ''Nyayasudha'' of [[Jayatirtha]], is sort of complement to the commentary of Yadupati and is much indebted to it, following it rather closely.{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=496}}{{Sfn|Larson|1970|p=292}}<br />
