Keshav Kashmiri (c. 15th Century[1]) also known as keshavacharya and Keshava Kashmriri Bhattacharya (Sanskrit: केशव काश्मीरी, केशवाचार्य, केशव काश्मीरी भट्टाचार्य, romanized: Keśava Kāśmīrī, Keśavācārya, Keśava Kāśmīrī Bhaṭṭācārya) was an Indian philosopher, theologian and poet. He was a Brāhmana, born in the province of Maharashtra, in the village named Vaidūrya-pattanam, also known as Pratiṣṭhāna.[7] He was disciple of Mukunda and Gāṅgala bhaṭṭāchārya.[6][3] He became the 33rd ācārya of the Nimbārka Sampradāya.[8] Tradition is that he conquered thrice all learned men of his time. Hence the epithet 'Jagadvijayī is often prefixed to his name.[7]
