Popularly known as Sadāśiva-Brahmendra, he lived during the 18th century CE in the Tamil region. A disciple of the great Paramaśivendra Sarasvatī of Kanchipuram, he was fond of philosophical debate and could easily defeat any of his opponents. Realizing that this fondness for debate could take him away from his goal of mukti, his guru advised him to refrain from argumentation. From then onwards, he maintained silence most of the time, revelling in the bliss of a jīvanmukta.

His most well known work is the Ātmavidyāvilāsa ("Bliss of Self-knowledge"), an ecstatic outpouring of a jīvanmukta. He also authored several other Sanskrit texts on Advaita-Vedanta, and composed several songs that remain popular in Carnatic classical music.
