Sri Vedanga Theertha is the 13th saint after Sri Vishnu Theertha in the guru parampare of Sode mutt.

Sri Vedanga Theertha took Ashrama from Sri Ratnagarbha Theertha and ruled the Peeta for 3 years. He was a great scholar and great tapasvi. He is believed to have written many Grantha’s before Sri Vadiraja and wrote commentary on acharya Madhwa’s Mahabharata Tatparya Nirnaya, Bhagavadgeetha, Vayustuti, Sumadhwa Vijaya, Prameya Navamalika, Parijata Apaharana. He is also written Bhashya on Aitareya Upanishad. In response to Bhajagovindam of Shankaracharya, he wrote ‘Bhajamadhwesham’. His Vrundavana is located at Beelagi village of Siddapur taluk in Uttara Kannada district. It is believed that Sri Vadiraja made a copy of his works in cooper plates and buried near his Vrundavana.

After handing over Peeta to Sri Vidyapati Theertha he entered Vrundavana at Beelagi.

**********

In the lineage of Shri Vishnu tIrtharu, Vedanga tIrtharu happened to be a great author prior to Shri bhAvi samIra vAdirAja tIrtharu. He studied Veda - Vedanga - Vedanta and other shAstrAs under his guru and gained enormous knowledge in them. With this treasure he made his Ashrama name fruitful and rewarding. He fairly continued the unbroken convention of observance with dedication. Vedanga tIrtharu authored many works that include commentaries, glosses and independent works. He devotedly engaged in learning - teaching of shAstrAs even when he was on pilgrimage. During his tenure, maTa excelled with towering fame and name.

Sri Vedanga Tirtha entered the holy Vrindavana in the year 1441 A.D in Bilagi near Siddapura in Sirsi taluk. The Vrindavana is situated on the bank of Somavati river. Later on, adjoining to that Vrindavana, Sri Vadiraja tIrtharu kept underground a set of all his works. On that, he installed the vigrahAs of lord Vedavyasa, Hanumantha and Garuda. shri Vishwottama tIrtharu carried out historical renovation of that spot. The sacred and secluded spot of Sannidhi does appear with pleasant scene of nature and offers abundant  peace. 

The works authored by Vedanga tIrtharu are :

1. Shri Vayustuti teeka 

2. Madhwavijaya teeka 

3. Mahabharata tatparyanirnaya teeka 

4. Bhagavadgita tippani 

5. Parijataharana teeka

6. Anumadhwavijaya teeka 

7. Bhajamadhwesham 

8. Aitareyopanishadbhashya teeka

Shri Vishwottama tIrtharu used to say that tradition ascribed some more works related  to Sutraprasthana and Upanishadprasthana to the authorship of Vedanga Tirtha.
