Sri Satyasandha Theertha was great tapasvi. He chose Mahishi as his last resting place which is situated on the banks of river Tunga. He toured extensively all over to propagate dwaitha philosophy and acquired many sishyas. He established a mutt in Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh and installed Mukhyaprana idol there. He also installed Lord Narasimha & Mukhyaprana idols in Rajahmundry. It is believed that goddess Ganga received bagina from him during his visit to Kashi. When he visited Gaya, the administrators did not allow him to enter the door of the lord. When Swamiji prayed lord for his darshan, the doors got opened and lord gave him darshan.
