The Yadavabhyudaya is regarded to be a significant work of medieval Sanskrit poetry. It holds the rare distinction of being offered a flattering commentary by the philosopher Appayya Dikshita, who belonged to the Advaita school of thought; the poet Vedanta Desika himself was a proponent of the rival Vishishtadvaita philosophy.
