About this person
Vidyāraṇya, who is thought to have been named Madhava before taking ordination as a sannyasin, is usually identified with Mādhavācārya, the supposed author of the Sarvadarśanasaṅgraha, a compendium of different philosophical schools of Hindu philosophy. According to tradition, after ordination at an old age, Madhava took the name of Vidyaranya, became the Jagadguru of the matha at Sringeri, and wrote the Pañcadaśī, an important text for Advaita Vedanta.
