Sri Lakishmikantha Theertha stayed in Narasimha Theertha and worshipped Lord Yoga Narasimha for some time. Later, he travelled to Vengere in Tamil Nadu, which is on the banks of river Cauvery.

Noticing that every house was a Gurukul in that township, he decided to settle there. He was giving religious advice to the royal family of Karur. He selected Sri Srikantha Theertha as his successor and was immortalised in 1767 on Jeshta shudha chaturdshi (on the Aradhana celebrations of Sri Sripadaraja).
