This maṭha is mentioned in no. 13 and is called Śrī-maṭha in nos. 25, 26 and 31. Of this maṭha Mr. Rice gives a history and says that “the head of the Śṛingeri maṭha is styled the jagad-guru or the guru of the world and is possessed of extensive authority and influence. He wears on ceremonial occasions a tiara like the Pope’s, covered with pearls and precious stones . . . . . , and a handsome necklace of pearls, with an emerald centre piece” (Introduct. p. 24, para 2). But no architectural details are given.
