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.
