Lakshmipati Tirtha (1420–1487) was a
Dvaita Philosopher, who gave him the name Lakshmipati Tirtha upon initiation
.
One of the important vaishnavait of Brij area during the time of Vallabhacharya and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Madhavendra Puri was very likely initiated by Lakshmipati Tirtha.
Lakshmipati Tirtha is also credited as being the
sannyasi
. According to others, however, He was initiated by Lakṣmīpati Tīrtha."
In his work, Teachings of Lord Caitanya, Bhaktivedanta Swami writes (Chapter 31): "Similarly, Lord Nityānanda Prabhu and Śrī Advaita Ācārya also accepted a sannyāsī as their spiritual master, namely, Mādhavendra Purī, who was a disciple of Lakṣmīpati Tīrtha."
