Sri Vyasaraja Math (Kannada: ವ್ಯಾಸರಾಜ ಮಠ) (formerly known as Poorvadi Math^[1]) is one of the three premier Dvaita Vedanta monasteries (matha) descended from Jagadguru Śrī Madhvācārya through Jayatirtha and Rajendra Tirtha (a disciple of Vidyadhiraja Tirtha) and their disciples.^[2]^[3]

Vyasaraja Math, along with Uttaradi Math and Raghavendra Math , are considered to be the three premier apostolic institutions of Dvaita Vedanta and are jointly referred as Mathatraya .^[4]^[5]^[6] It is the pontiffs and pandits of the Mathatraya that have been the principle architects of post-Madhva Dvaita Vedanta through the centuries.^[7] Among the mathas outside of Tulu Nadu region, after Uttaradi Matha, Vyasaraja Matha is the largest.^[8]^[9]
