Additionally, he composed numerous poems and as the pontiff of Sodhe Mutt, renovated the temple complex at Udupi and established the Paryaya system of worship. [2] He also enriched the Kannada literature of the time by translating Madhvacharya's works to Kannada,[3] giving impetus and contributing to the Haridasa movement.
