Sri Vyasaraja Math (Kannada: ವ್ಯಾಸರಾಜ ಮಠ) (formerly known as Poorvadi Math[1]) is one of the three premier Dvaita Vedanta monasteries (matha) descended from Jagadguru Śrī Madhvācārya through Jayatirtha and Rajendra Tirtha (a disciple of Vidyadhiraja Tirtha) and their disciples.[2][3]
Vyasaraja Math, along with Uttaradi Math and Raghavendra Math, are considered to be the three premier apostolic institutions of Dvaita Vedanta and are jointly referred as Mathatraya .[4][5][6] It is the pontiffs and pandits of the Mathatraya that have been the principle architects of post-Madhva Dvaita Vedanta through the centuries.[7] Among the mathas outside of Tulu Nadu region, among Madhwa mutts Vyasaraja Matha is the largest matha.

This selection of Kavindra as the successor of Vidyadhiraja, leaving Rajendra Tirtha resulted in the bifurcation of the Madhva Mathas, namely Vyasaraya Matha at Sosale headed by Rajendra Tirtha and Uttaradi Matha presided by Kavindra Tirtha.
