Sripadaraya was a devoted follower of Vedanta and authored a comprehensive commentary called Vagvajra on Jayatirtha's Nyaya Sudha, which was appreciated for its lucid and attractive style in 3500 granthas. Despite his scholarly achievements, Sripadaraya is most remembered as the pioneer of Dasa Sahitya, a form of devotional poetry. He wrote hymns that combined spirituality with music and used simple language, reflecting his humble origins and intimate connection with his vernacular tongue. His repertoire included 13,000 suladis, which were songs that blended different ragas and talas to create a specific mood. Sripadaraya's songs are celebrated for their sublime meaning and rhythmic flow. After his passing, Vyasatirtha, his successor as the pontiff, continued to cultivate the Haridasa movement and encourage poets such as Purandara and Kanaka while composing kirtanas himself, carrying forward Sripadaraya's musical legacy.
