Mathatraya of Desh is a group of three premier monasteries of in the Dvaita School of thought or Tattvavada that descended from Jagadguru Madhvacharya in the lineage of his four direct disciples Padmanabha Tirtha, Narahari Tirtha, Madhava Tirtha, Akshobhya Tirtha through Jayatirtha and his disciples. Uttaradi Matha, Vyasaraja Matha and Raghavendra Matha are combinedly known as Mathatraya.[1][2][3] According to Surendranath Dasgupta, Uttaradi Math was divided twice, and so we end up with three mathas, the other two being Vyasaraja Math and Raghavendra Math.[4]
