Swamy Vidyaranya born as 'Madhavacharya' is variously known as a kingmaker, patron saint and high priest to Harihara I and Bukka Raya I, the founders of the Vijayanagara Empire. He was the 12th Jagadguru of the Śringeri Śarada Pītham from 1380-6.
It will be seen that Jupiter's presence in Lagna identical with swakshetra and the position of Venus in the 4th identical with his exaltation have caused two Panchamahapurusha yogas, viz., Hamsa and Malavya, the former indicating "distinction, righteous disposition and pure mind" and the latter denoting "strength of mind, wealth, clean sense-organs, renown and learning", all of which he possessed to a remarkable degree.
The two powerful Panchamahapurusha yogas enabled him to establish firmly the famous Sangama dynasty upon the throne of Vijayanagar which later on extended its influence and might practically throughout South India, and thus became the chief instrument for the preservation of the political and cultural independence from Mohammedan aggression.
The Guru's own death took place in Rahu Dasa Venus Bhukti. Rahu, the major lord, is in Bhava association with Saturn, lord of the 2nd, a maraka place. Lagna lord strong in Lagna and lord of the 8th in his own house conferred a long life of 91 years.
