Narahari Tirtha (c. 1243^[3]^[4] - c. 1333^[5]) was a Dvaita philosopher, scholar, statesman and one of the disciples of Madhvacharya. He is considered to be the progenitor of the Haridasa movement along with Sripadaraja.^[6] Though only two of his scholarly works are extant, they are characterised by their verbosity and lack of digressions.^[7] A few songs of his survive under the pen name Raghukulatilaka. As a minister of considerable influence to the Eastern Ganga rulers and later as the pontiff of the Madhvacharya matha, Narahari converted the Simhachalam temple into an educational establishment of renown and a religious centre for Vaishnavism.^[8]
