Other:
This Acharya was an expert in 15 languages, whence His appellation of Bhasha Parameshthi! Thereby He was able to speak with all His devotees and give them guidance and consolation in their own languages.
Since the 16th Acharya Shri Ujjvala Shankara who attained Siddhi in Kashmir, all the Acharyas were mostly travelling. It was this Acharya who spent a large part of His time in the Shrimatham at Kanchipuram itself doing Puja of Kamakshi. Thus the Shrimatham received much more attention, repairs and improvements at the time of this Acharya.
