Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya was one of the biggest branches of the tree of the Lord. Śrī Gopīnātha Ācārya was his sister’s husband.
Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya learned his teacher’s explanations of logic by heart, since students were not allowed to write them down. He later established a school for the study of logic in Navadvīpa.
He became the leader of all students of logic. Although he was a gṛhastha, or householder, he even taught many sannyāsīs.
