[2] Most of the information about Satyapriya Tirtha's life is derived from the hagiography, Guruvamsakathakalpataru authored by Bhimadaivajna of Bijapur.
When Satyapriya Tirtha climbed the hills of Melukote for the darshan of Lord Narasimha, he found the doors of the sanctum-sanctorum locked for the afternoon.
On his very touch, the lock opened and the doors became ajar with a bang giving him the darshan of the Lord, to whom he prayed to his heart's content.
In this book, he analyzed Dvaita, and Advaita, and eventually said that Dvaitha is superior, with Sri Satyapriya Tirtha as the hero.
"Prachanda Rahoodaya" is a fine drama printed and published by Satyadhyana Vidyapeetha, Bombay a quarter of a century ago.
