General definition (in Hinduism)

Source: Hindupedia: Hinduism

Jayatīrtha (A. D. 1340-1388) is a chief proponent of Dvaita Vedānta which was a philosophical stance founded by Madhva (A. D. 1238-1317).

His works on the Dvaita Vedānta philosophy are:

Nyāyasudhā, a commentary on the Anuvyākhyāna of Madhva;
Tattvaprakāśikā, a commentary on the Brahmasutrabhāsya of Madhva;
Nyāyadipikā, a commentary on the Gitātātparyanirnaya of Madhva;
Prameyadipikā, a commentary on the Gitābhāsya of Madhva;

Jayatīrtha was a contemporary of Vidyāraṇya. He passed away on the bank of the river Kāgiṇī, in Malakheḍa (or Mānyakheṭa). A cave where he used to compose his works is located near the Yaragola village of Yādgiri taluka.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
