With reverence and gratitude to the Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham, which has kept the lives of its Jagadgurus through the centuries and shares them with the world. What follows is the Peetham's own account, exactly as it gives it.

Sri Jnanagiri (954-1038 A.D)

ज्ञाननिश्रेणिमालम्ब्य ब्रह्माख्यं गिरिमुन्नतम् ।
आरूह्य कृतकृत्यो यस्तं ज्ञानगिरिमाश्रये ॥

He scaled the mount of wisdom step by step and climbed the peak of transcendent Brahman
His life was fulfilled in that, lofty Truth To Sage Jnanagiri, Salutations!
