His Viṣṇusahasranāmabhāṣya is a commentary on Vishnu Sahasranama. His another work is Vishnu Stuti, a praise-poem on Lord Vishnu.[3][4][5]

In culture

Sri Satyasandha Vijaya, is a story of the victory and biography of Satyasandha Tirtha authored by Koneratmaja. He was entombed with his living body and is believed to be alive in the Brindavana even today. A very marvellous incident is graphically described in Satyasandha Vijaya about his being alive in the Brindavana many many years after his entrance into it.[6]
