The 13th in the lineage of Kaniyooru Matha, he was renowned as a great ascetic. On knowing the greatness of Shrigalu, the ruler of Bellare ( a small town near Puttur, Dakshina Kannada District) offered him the land of penance of Sage Kanwa- the village of Kaniyooru and a 16 armed Narasimha Idol. This idol is worshipped with great reverence even today at the Moola matha of Kaniyooru. He passed the reins of the Matha to his disciple Shri Vedaraja Theertha and left this world at Shri Krishna Kshethra on the 3rd day of Magha Shuddha.
