Child prodigy Once he was grazing cattle palanquin carrying madhadipati swarnavarna tirtha came. Boy prostrated before sage. When sage asked about distance he told to look at sun him and calculate distance yourself. Seeing brilliant child swamiji enquired name and gave blessings
Sanyasa Swarnavarna tirtha convinced parents and took boy and gave him sanyasa Diksha. Boy bloomed under guidance of swarnavarna tirtha and went to vibhudendra tirtha for studying. Under his guidance he became great Gyani. Vibhudendra tirtha gave him title sripadaraja

Raghunath tirtha Raghunath tirtha wàs senior disciple if swarnavarna tirtha and sripadaraja was his close friend. Both travelled together. Once king refused to do pada pooja to yatis as sripadaraja wanted first Raghunath tirtha to be worshipped but king refused arrogantly
Whole palace got fire. King then asked forgiveness and got his wishes fulfilled. One day he saw Raghunath tirtha going to vaikuntha in Pushpak viman he throwed flowers at sripadaraja who collected it and placed in eyes. He told shisyas what had happened briefly
Removing Brahma hatya Vyasaraja was his disciple. Once vijaya Nagar king killed priest of Tirupati temple and got Brahma hatya. Knowing circumstances Sri sripadaraja arranged yagyas and relieved king of his doshas. He did kanakabhisekha to sage. He requested to stay in his city
Vyasaraja theertha He refused but told king saluva narashima to take his shisya vyasaraja with him. Thus vyasaraja became guru of Vijayanagar. Once vyasaraja saw samputa box that was unopened . He opened with ease and saw krishna dancing in Bala gopala form. He did taala happily.
Ganga came at mulbagal Sripadaraja saw this and told to keep samputa with him and told only he could open it. He consecrated narashima at mulbagal. At old age when he wished ganga snana ganga Devi appear and told she will be staying in narashima theertha forever.
