Sri Lakshmipati Theertha took Ashrama from Sri Lakshminarayana Theertha and ruled the Peeta for 16 years. He is remembered for the tours he undertook to propagate the Dvaita philosophy. During one of the tour he halted at a place called Papuja where in a dream he had the vision of Sri Venugopala Krishna playing the Flute. In the vision he was informed that under the nearby ant-hill an idol of Venugopala Krishna was available. Next morning arrangements were made to dig the ant-hill and the idol was found. Later he installed the idol in Papuja. The Papuja Mutt was established by him in this place.
After handing over Peeta to Sri Lakshmidhara Theertha he entered Vrundavana at Udupi.
