Padmanabha Tirtha was an Indian

Tulunadu.[3]

Life

According to Narayana Pandita's

Narahari Tirtha
succeeded him as the pontiff.

Works

15 extant-works have been ascribed to him, most of which are commentaries on the works of

Madhva. His notable works include Nyayaratnavali, a commentary on Madhva's Vishnu Tattva Vinirnaya, Sattarkadipavali a gloss on Bramha Sutra Bhashya and Sannyayaratnavali on Anu Vyakhyana. Sharma notes "dignity, elegance, clearness, brevity and avoidance of digression and controversies mark his style".[6] Though Jayatirtha later diverges from Padmanabha's views, he eulogies the latter's pioneering work in his Nyaya Sudha and acknowledges his influence. Padmanabha's influence is also acknowledged by Vyasatirtha
, who attempts, in his Tatparya Chandrika, to reconcile Jayatritha and Padmanabha's views.
