&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Vijayīndra Tīrtha&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;#039;&amp;#039;(also known as Vijayendra Tīrtha)&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ({{circa}}1514 - {{circa}}1595) was a [[Dvaita]] philosopher and dialectician. A prolific writer and an unrelenting polemicist, he is said to have authored 104 treatises expounding the principles of [[Dvaita]] and defending it against attacks from the contemporary orthodox schools of [[Vedanta]]. He held the pontifical seat at [[Kumbakonam]] under the rule of [[Thanjavur Nayaks]] where he participated in polemical discussions with the [[Advaita]] philosopher [[Appayya Dikshita]] {{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=165}} Inscriptions from that era record grants of villages received by Vijayindra for his triumph over theological debates .{{Sfn| Vriddhagirisan|1995|p=56}} Legend ascribes to him mastery over 64 arts and his erudition, writes Sharma, &amp;quot;is evident from a few of his works bearing on [[Purva Mimamsa]], [[Nyaya]] and [[Kavya]] literature&amp;quot;.{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=172}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Life==&lt;br /&gt;
Almost nothing is known about his early life and family. Most of the information on Vijayindra is derived from a few inscriptions and two hagiographies: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Rāghavendra Vijaya&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Guruguṇastavana&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Born as Vitthalācharya in a [[Kannada language|Kannada]]-speaking [[Deshastha Brahmin|Deshastha Madhva Brahmin]] family,{{Sfn|Hebbar|2005|p=306}} he studied [[Vedanta]], [[Mimamsa]] and [[Nyaya]] under the philosopher [[Vyasatirtha]]. {{sfn|Sharma|2000|p=171}} He also received training in [[Kavya]] (poetics), [[Natya]] (drama) and [[Rhetoric|Alankara]] (rhetoric). Aged 25, he moved to Kumbakonam at the behest of Surendra Tirtha, the erstwhile [[pontiff]] of the Vibhudendra mutt. {{Refn|group=note|According to the songs of [[Purandara Dasa|Purandara]], Surendra, impressed by the brilliance of the young Vitthala, asked Vyasatirtha to gift him Vitthala}} Vitthala eventually succeeded Surendra as the pontiff with the title &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Vijayīndra Tīrtha&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=168}}&lt;br /&gt;
Inscriptional evidence and traditional accounts note that Vijayindra received patronage from [[Aliya Rama Raya]] and grants from [[Sevappa Nayak]] of [[Tanjore]]. {{sfn|Sharma|2000|p=171}}  {{sfn|Sharma|2000|p=172}} He was involved in severe polemical  discussions with his rival and friend [[Appayya Dikshita]], with several of his works dedicated to refuting the claims of Appayya. {{sfn|Heras|1927|p=553}} After his death in 1595, his mortal remains were enshrined in the mutt at Kumbakonam. He was succeeded by [[Sudhindra Tirtha]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Works==&lt;br /&gt;
Vijayindra tirtha is credited with as many as 104 literary works of which many are non-extant. A few that remain mainly consist of commentaries on the works of [[Vyasatirtha]] (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Laghu Amoda&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) and [[Madhva]] (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Tattvaprakasika Tippani&amp;#039;&amp;#039;), polemical works refuting the works of [[Appayya Dikshita]] and several treatises dealing with the issue of compatibility of [[Dvaita]] with [[Mimamsa]] (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Chakra Mimamsa&amp;#039;&amp;#039;). A few poems and three dramatical works have been attributed to him as well.{{Sfn|Sharma|2000|p=173-189}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==List of Notable Works==&lt;br /&gt;
104 works are attributed to Vijayindra of which only sixty are extant. Except for a few notable works, many remain unprinted. The manuscripts are preserved in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;mutts&amp;#039;&amp;#039; at [[Nanjangud]], [[Mantralayam]] and [[Kumbakonam]].&lt;br /&gt;
