According to popular acceptance Shripad Jaya Tirtha renounced the world and took 'sannyasam' at twenty years of age (reputed to be in 1368). However, due to the course of time dates have become confused – the accepted date that Akshobhya Tirtha's giving up this world (1365 AD) and ordination of Jaya Tirtha do not tally – we can see from mathematical deduction that either or both dates need some adjusting.
By this time no one could philosophically touch him. He was a genius, seeing through the foolishness of 'mayavada', and even making commentaries on Ramanujacharya's works. He wrote about twenty books, eclipsing those of his forerunners like Trivikrama Panditacharya, Padmanabha Tirtha and Narahari Tirtha, but he was always humble, giving all credit to Akshobhya Tirtha, the servant of Shripad Madhvacharya.
'Critique of Mityatwa' or 'The Falsity Of The World' was one of his main works, where he describes how this world is temporary, not false, and the 'mayavadi's' way as being really false. He points out the differences between real, unreal, temporary and permanent, concluding, "The co-existing of both their negations, at the same time and with reference to the same locus is, therefore, most illogical and can never be accepted by sane men." ie. The positive being this world is temporary though genuinely existing, the elements are real, and the action is real but done in connection with material nature causing reaction, which is also real but not permanent. Thus soundly defeating the 'mayavadi' philosophy around 'brahma satyam jagan mithya', various works on subjects of Vaishnavas studies and logic were written by Jaya Tirtha. Later a descendant in the 'parampara' of the name Shripad Vyasa Tirtha wrote down Jaya Tirtha's life story (Jaya Tirtha Vijaya), whereby we have found much of the details of this information.
Shripad Jaya Tirtha's previous name was Dhondo Pantraya Raghunatha (Dhonduraya, Raghunath was his father's name), of either Viswamitra Gotra or Bharadwaja Gotra. He was the son of a high ranking military man and had two wives. Dhondo Pant, being like a local prince, was often seen dressed in full armour, breast plate, helmet and all, riding his mighty horse around the area. He was a great horse-man, and would ride sometimes on journeys all over the district, accompanied by his men. On one such occasion, a summers day at noon, he stopped at a stream for fresh water, but his drinking of water was not an ordinary sight. Unlike most persons taking water, Dhondo Pant would enter into the river fully dressed (with armour, sword, shield, helmet, plume, etc), then, whilst still mounted upon his horse, he would drink water at water level the water directly flowing into his mouth, being up to his neck in the water as an animal would.
