'''Sri Jayatirtha''' ({{IAST|Śrī Jaya-tīrtha}}) or '''Jayateertharu''', ''also known as'' '''Teekacharya''' ({{IAST|Ṭīkācārya}}) ({{circa}}1345 - {{circa}}1388{{Sfn|Chang|1991|p=xviii}}{{Sfn|Sharma|1986|p=xviii}}{{Sfn|Leaman|2006|p=177}}), was a [[Hindu]] philosopher, dialectician, polemicist and the sixth pontiff of [[Madhvacharya]] Peetha from (1365 – 1388). He is considered to be one of the most important seers in the history of [[Dvaita]] school of thought on account of his sound elucidations of the works of [[Madhvacharya]]. He is credited with structuring the philosophical aspects of [[Dvaita]] and through his polemical works, elevating it to an equal footing with the contemporary schools of thought.{{Sfn|Dasgupta|1991|p=viii}} Along with [[Madhva]] and [[Vyasatirtha]], he is venerated as one of the three great spiritual sages, or ''munitraya'' of [[Dvaita]].

Born into an aristocratic [[Deshastha Brahmin|Deshastha Rigvedi Brahmin]] family,{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=247}} he later adopted the cause of [[Dvaita]] after an encounter with the Madhva saint, [[Akshobya Tirtha|Akshobhya Tirtha]] (d. 1365 {{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=208}}). He composed 22 works, consisting of commentaries on the works of [[Madhva]] and several independent treatises criticizing the tenets of contemporary schools, especially [[Advaita]], while simultaneously elaborating upon the Dvaita thought. His dialectical skill and logical acumen earned him the distinction of '''Ṭīkacārya''' or ''commentator par excellence''. {{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=236}}

{{Hindu philosophy}}

==Biography==
Historical sources on Jayatirtha's life is scant. {{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=246}} Most of the information about his life is derived from two [[hagiographies]]: ''Aṇu Jayatīrtha Vijaya'' and ''Bṛhad Jayatīrtha Vijaya'' from his disciple, Vyāsatirtha (not to be confused with [[Vyasatirtha]]) and a compilation by Chalāri Saṁkarṣaṇacārya (c. 1700). {{Sfn|Dalal|2010|p=178}} He was born Dhoṇḍu (or Dhoṇḍo) Pant Raghunath to a Brahmin [[Deshpande]] family. The place of his birth is assigned to either [[Mangalwedha]] or [[Manyakheta]]. {{Sfn|Dalal|2010|p=178}} According to the hagiographies, his father was a nobleman of military rank and importance. Dhoṇḍo Pant grew up in affluence, with a certain predilection towards sports, especially horse riding.{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=247}}
At the age of twenty, after a chance encounter with the ascetic Akshobhya Tīrtha on the banks of river Kagini or [[Bhima River|river Bhima]], he underwent a transformation which led him to renounce his former life, but not without resistance from his family. After much deliberation, his family relented and he was subsequently initiated into the [[Dvaita]] fold by Akshobhya Tīrtha, who named him '''Jayatīrtha'''. {{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=248}} Jayatirtha succeeded Akshobhya as the pontiff in 1365. He composed several commentaries and treatises in the brief span of 23 years between his initiation and death in 1388. The location of his Brindavana is at Manyakheta or Malkhed in Gulbarga District, Karnataka

==Works==
{{Main|List of works by Jayatirtha}}
There have been 22 works accredited to Jayatirtha, 18 of which are commentaries on the works of Madhvacharya.{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=249}} ''Nyaya Sudha'', which is a commentary on [[Madhva|Madhva's]] ''Anu Vyakhyana'', is considered to be his magnum opus. Running up to 24,000 verses, it discusses and critiques a variety of philosophers and their philosophies, ranging from the orthodox schools of Hinduism like [[Mimamsa]] and [[Nyaya]] to heterodox schools like [[Buddhism]] and [[Jainism]], arguing in favour of Dvaita. {{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=330}} Apart from commentaries, he has authored 4 original treatises of which ''Pramana Paddhati'' and ''Vadavali'' stand apart. ''Pramana Paddhati'' is a short monograph on the epistemology of [[Dvaita]] dealing with the [[pramanas]] in question, theory of truth and error and validity of knowledge while ''Vadavali'' deals with the nature of reality and illusion. {{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=337}}

==Legacy==
Jayatirtha occupies a special place in the history of [[Dvaita Literature]]. The lucidity and measured style of his writing coupled with his keen dialectical ability has allowed his works to percolate through time, reinforced by the commentaries of later philosophers like [[Vyasatirtha]], [[Raghuttama Tirtha]], [[Raghavendra Tirtha]] and [[Vadiraja Tirtha]]. [[Surendranath Dasgupta|Dasgupta]] remarks "Jayatirtha and [[Vyasatirtha]] present the highest dialectical skill in Indian thought".{{Sfn|Dasgupta|1991|p=viii}}
His masterpiece, ''Nyaya Sudha'' or ''Nectar of Logic'', deals with refuting an encyclopaedic range of philosophies that were in vogue at the time. [[Jose Pereira (scholar)|Pereira]] notes "His monumental ''Nectar of Logic'' is one of the pinnacles of Indic theological achievement".{{Sfn|Pereira|1976|p=123}}
