Sri Surendra Theertha got Sri Vishnu Theertha,one of the brilliant and energetic student,from Sri Vyasarajaru and he was renamed as Sri Vijayindra Theertha.He made Sri Vijayindra Theertha as his next successor and also he entrusted the one Narayanacharya under Sri Vijayindra Theertha. Narayanacharya was later renamed as Sri Sudeendra Theertharu(Gurugalu of Sri Raghavendra Theertha).
