Raghuvarya Tirtha (c.1462 - c.1557) was a Hindu philosopher, scholar, theologian and saint. He served as the pontiff of Shri Uttaradi Math from 1502-1557. He was the thirteenth in succession from Madhvacharya.[1] According to tradition Sri Raghuvarya Tirtha taught the famous Nyayasudha of Jayatirtha seven times to his disciples.[2]
According to Baladeva, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu accepted Sri Madhvacharya's theological position as true and in line with Vedanta. According to ninth chapter of Chaitanya Charitamrita - Madya-lila, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu met Raghuvarya Tirtha in Udupi to discuss means and end of spiritual life and also about nine types of spiritual practices.[3]
Raghuvarya Tirtha composed many works but some of his extant works are Laghupariksa (or Raghupariksa) on nyaya, a commentary on Narayanapanditacarya's Prameyaratnamalika, Kṛṣṇastuti a devotional lyric in Kannada.[2]
