Sri Vidyadheesha Theertha took Ashrama from Sri Vedaraja Theertha and ruled the Peeta for 33 years. He was a great ascetic and once he was doing penance at Kadeshivalaya, on the banks of river Netravati (Bantwal, Dakshina Kannada District) through the Ekakshari Mantra to please Lord Narasimha. At that time Lord Rudra came before him rather than Lord Narasimha. Swamiji said “I had done these austerities to please Lord Narasimha and why have you come before me?” Lord Rudra told him that he had come as per the orders of Lord Narasimha and he had come there to bless Swamiji for bearing the difficulties of 10 births in this birth only. Swamiji happily took up this and anointed his disciple Sri Vibudhesha Theertha for leading the Samsthana, Swamiji suffered the difficulties of 10 births at Balya mutt, near Kadeshivalaya and then attained Samadhi. This rare fact was recorded in the Kaifiyat related to Swamiji (dated Shalivahana Shaka 1536, 1614 A.D., Ananda Samvatsara Pushya Shudha Dashami Saturday) is on the West wall of Sri Krishna mutt. His Aradhana falls on Chaitra Shudha Panchami.
