Veṅkaṭādhvarin is enamoured by the variety of *tīrthas* in south and sings in their praise with an abandon. The text became so popular that it was discussed for its documentation of various religious sects. It was examined for its debate on various issues. The adherents of Tengle, a religious sect, were not satisfied with the defence that the author of *Viśvaguṇādarśacampū* gave and some supporter inserted ten verses eulogizing this sect. These verses are found even in very old manuscripts of the text.⁵⁸
