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 Nrisimha Bharati III (1560 – 1573)

सुरसिन्धुलसत्कीर्तिं स्मरसिन्धुघटोद्भवम् ।
नारसिंहार्चकं श्रीमन्नारसिंहयतिं भजे ॥

His fame is like the swelling Ganges-flood; Like Agastya He drinks the desire-sea;
He does adore God Nrisimha daily; With love I worship Nrisimha the Saint !

It was during his period that the famous battle of Talikota was fought resulting in the disembering of the Vijayanagar Empire and in the feudatory chieftains claiming to be independent rulers.
