Narayanacharya
Narayanacharya ( IAST:Nārāyaṇācārya; c. 1600 – c. 1660), was an Indian scholar and philosopher of Dvaita Vedānta tradition. He was the disciple of Vedavyasa Tirtha of Uttaradi Math and is the most celebrated name in the annals of the great dvaita-advaita debate. Narayanacharya is notable for his work '' Advaita Kalanala'', which is a refutation work to ''Madhvamatamukhamardana'' of Appayya Dikshita. Indologist B. N. K. Sharma writes, "The '' Advaita Kalanala'' is a scathing criticism of the ''Madhvamatamukhamardana'' of Appayya.

The tone of the work is thus retaliatory and bitingly sarcastic". Sharma also writes, "Narayanacharya was one of the fiery champions of the Dvaita school, that rose to defend it against the slashing attacks of Appayya Dikshita and others". American histor ...
