History :

According to the history of succession at the Mutt, Krishnabhatta was his name before sanyasa. He was a great scholar. On the third day of Vaishaka Shuddha in Angeerasa Samvatsara he reached the heavenly abode at Yaragola after his reign in Mahasamsthana for four years. He bestowed sanyashrama on his two disciples Kaveendra and Rajendra. Of the idols of Mutt’s heritage, Pattabhirama and Moolagopalakrishna came to the possession of Rajendra and Kaveendra had Mahasamsthana and MoolaSeethaRama, Digvijayarama and Jayarama idols. As Vyasaraja, one among the three Munis came in Rajendra’s succession, his tradition has become popular as Vyasaraja Mutt. Now it is situated on the banks of the Cauvery at village Sosale near Mysore.
