Bhuvanendratheertha was of great intellect. He acquired the administrative acumen from his guru Varadendratheertha just as how he acquired scholarship from Dheerendratheertha. Besides he also patronised Haridasa literature. The swamiji was very ardent in performing the pooja of Lord Moolarama. He was revered by Peshwas of Pune. Still he got a big gold Mantap made with the contributions he received from his disciples during his tour and worshipped the idol of Moolarama placed in it. Kings and Desais were wonderstruck by the administrative acumen of the swamiji.1
A great intellect by name Vyasatattvajna who received sanyasa from the swamiji became Rajaguru in the royal court of Seetharama Bhoopala, the king of Gadwal. He apprised the king of the great powers of the swamiji. Hearing this, the king in great devotion and earnestness prayed to the swamiji to visit his state and bless him. Acceding to his request, the swamiji visited the palace where he performed the pooja of Moolarama. The king gifted lands and villages in his state to the swamiji. In addition, the following villages came as gifts through the respective officials.
- Hiremoraba – Mir Mohammed Shah Jung
- Nagaladinni – Khiravalanayaka Somappanayaka Desai
- Agnyahala and Handrala along with Noubathu honour – Surapura King
- Benakapura – Somashekaranayaka
During the swamiji’s period also, documents in respect of the village Mantralaya were executed by one Nawab Mansoordaul Bahadur.
Thus the swamiji became instrumental in the progress of the Mutt. As if that was not enough the swamiji introduced a seal with a Shloka श्रीरामॊ भाति सव्यासः श्रीमध्वास्थानसंस्थितैः । श्रीराघवेंद्रसद्वंश्यैः भुवनेंद्रैः श्रियार्चितः॥ in order to get such recognition for the Mutt as would boost its fame in accordance with the ancient tradition.* This was an important milestone.
Praneshadasa in his poem “ಗುರುಗಳ ನೋಡಿರೈ ಉತ್ತಮ ವರಗಳ ಬೇಡಿರೈ” has extolled the swamiji as
ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಈಪರಿ ಪದವಿಯು ಜಗದೊಳು ಬಹುದು ಆರಿಗೆ ಅಗುದೂ |
ಬೊಮ್ಮನ ಸಂತತಿಯಿದು ಪುಸಿಯಲ್ಲವು ಸತ್ಯಾ ಭಜಿಸಿರಿ ನಿತ್ಯಾ ||
History confirms that the swamiji completed Acharya’s Rig Bhashya with a view to counter the opponents of Dwaithism and did not bring it out after his victory in debates. As the swamiji had the patronage of the king of Gadwal, he spent his last days at a village Rajavalli of Tungabhadra region which was under the administration of Gadwal where he reached the heavenly abode on the seventh day of Vaishaka Bahula.
