Sri Vyasaraja Matha is popularly known as Munitraya (मुनित्रय) Matha — "the triad of sages." It is one of the foremost Dvaita Vedanta monasteries (matha), tracing its lineage from Hamsanamaka Bhagavanta, followed by Sanakadis, Durvasas, Jagadguru Sri Madhvacharya (the incarnation of Shri Vayu), Sri Jayatirtha, and then Sri Rajendratirtha. Sri Vyasaraja Matha is the only pitha that has been graced by the Munitrayas, as mentioned in the following shloka:
śrī madhvaḥ kalpavr̥kśaśca jayāryaḥ kāmadhuk smr̥taḥ | cintāmaṇistu vyāsāryaḥ munitrayamudāhr̥tam ||
Sri Vyasaraja Matha is uniquely identified with its contribution towards various scholarly compositions on Dvaita philosophy based on Vedic science as well as service to the nation and society.
Sri Vyasatirtha, the scholar of Tattvavada, is held in high esteem, second only to Shri Jayatirtha. His fundamental work has been to write detailed commentaries on the works of Shrimad Anandatirtha and Shri Jayatirtha, and to show Tattvavada as being placed on a firm logical foundation. His work is considered to be of the highest significance, particularly because it is accepted even by his opponents that his understanding of their schools is second to none. Sri Vyasatirtha also keeps a pace that is hard for the less skilled to even conceive of, let alone match. His logic is exceptionally hard to beat, because of his uncanny ability to know exactly what the opponent is going to say, and using this information to lead the opponent into logical traps that are many steps deep, and impossible to work through or around. One feels that while one gropes in the dark and tries to guess where one is and struggles to find one's way.
