Sri Jagannatha Dasaru first decided to go to Karajagi, which then was a major centre of Dvaitha learning and searching out for a the disciple. He hit upon a novel idea to get his disciple or shishya. After narrating the incomplete Harikathamrutasara, he would pose questions to the listeners. He thought the person who answered correctly would be the appropriate person to write the final canto.

No one came near to giving the correct answers and the Jagannatha Dasaru appeared to have failed to find his shishya. It was the last day of his discourse and Jagannatha Dasa once again asked the question.

Suddenly, a rustic Brahmin stood up and answered correctly. The rustic said his name was Dasappa.

Dasappa then fell at the feet of Jagannatha Dasa who then gave him the ankita Shrida Vittala. He is also known as Karajagi Dasa (1741-1820). He then went on to complete the 33rd canto of Harikathamrutasara.

Sri Jagannatha Dasaru was eighty when he began writing the Harikathamrutasara. He could not even sit properly to write and, therefore, he lent against a pillar in a temple for support and wrote. That pillar is there still today.

The concluding canto, which Dasappa or Karajagi Dasa wrote is known as Phala Shruti Sandhi.

Today, both sri Jagannatha Dasa and his shishya, Karajagi Dasa, are known for their Sahitya. Both were ardent devotees of Raghavendra Swamy and both have composed scores of songs on Rayaru and his Mahime.

Jagannatha Dasa is believed to have been Sahalada, one of the brothers of Prahalada, and he often spoke to Rayaru. When Rayaru stopped speaking to him, a disconsolate Dasa composed “Yaake Mukanadeyo”
