		On the other hand, Vidyaranya and Bharati Tirtha are also said to have directed Sayana and Madhava to write expository works, including the Veda Bhashyas and the dharmasastra text pArASara-mAdhavIyam.
		Also, sometimes Vidyaranya is said to have written the Vedabhashyas, although all manuscripts, including the ones preserved at Sringeri, reputedly the original one, credit Sayana with their composition.
		Vidyaranya is supposed to have been in Varanasi, when Bharati Tirtha passed away, and Harihara I sent an emissary to inform him of the news, and request him to come back to the south to take charge of the matha's activities.

	Shri Akshobhya Teertharu
		It was this Vidyaranya who established the Vijyanagar Kingdom for the twins Hakka and Bukka, and not the Madhava Teertharu that we know in our sampradaya(C.R. Rao.
		His victim was the same Vidyaranya, the big, big 'mayavadin' scholar and 'guru' descendant of the 'Advaitan' line of Sankara.
		In the year 1336 AD., Shri Akshobhya Teertharu had a scholarly disputation with Shri Vidyaranya on the interpretation of the "Tatvam-asi" ("You are the same as" or "I am that") 'Shruthi' text.

	Anegondi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This began when Mohammad Tughlaq, Sultan of Delhi, defeated the King of Anegondi (Jambukeshwara Raya) and appointed Malik Nayab, his representative, to rule over the city.
		During this time, the brothers Hakka and Bukka organised a group following Vidyaranya's advice that successfully recaptured Anegondi without bloodshed through sneaking into the Anegondi fort and taking Malik Nayab prisoner while he was drunk.
		Later on, Hakka and Bukka (along with the help of Vidyaranya) would found the Vijayanagara Empire with Anegondi as its capital, though it was moved to Vijayanagara in northern Karnataka as the empire continued to expand.

	Re: Vidyaranya
		Obviously, if vidyAraNya was already at the dharmasimhAsana of Sr.ngeri in 1346, it is difficult to square this with the idea that he "served" under three kings of vijayanagar.
		Even if the author mAdhava is the same as vidyAraNya, the verse does not identify which king it was that he praised, nor when he composed this Sankara-vijayam.
		However, when referring to vidyAraNya, who is considered a jIvanmukta and a jagadguru by the advaitins, it is perhaps advisable to be more careful in the choice of words than to call him a court official or a minister of the vijayangar kingdom.

	Jivanmukti concept in Hindu Thought
		The terminology has later penetrated most of the branches of the Indian spiritual thought, and it is seen today as a concept able to integrate them into a unifying soteriology.
		Scholars will agree that the first attempt (known so far) to synthesize the jivanmukti concept was done by Swami Vidyaranya, a 14th century (CE) siddha ('saint') who has managed to put together the core of the issues of jivanmukti, by using primary resources available at his time.

		When Vidyaranya became the Jagadguru of Sringeri Math and returned to Hampi, he found the whole kingdom of Anagondi in anarchy.
		Athanasius Nikitin, the Russian traveller wrote that "there were two brothers named Bukka and Harihara, that they were members of the old royal house of Kadambas of Banavasi and that he speaks of them as the Hindu Sultan Kadam, who resided at Bichenaghar (Vijayanagara).
