It was not the Muslim king who gave the land to Udupi Krishna Mutt, it was Shri Acharane of Page

Vishwaprasanna Theertha Swamiji of Pejavara Math has countered Mithun Rai's claim that land was given to Udupi Krishna Mutt by Muslim kings.

It is meaningless to discuss with baseless statement. Mr. Pejavara Sri in Tumkur said that there are grounds for giving Rambhoja Aras Jaga to Krishna Mutt, he misunderstood the Guru's statement.

Madhwacharya along with all his disciples left for Badri Yatra. While going on such a pilgrimage, one had to cross the river Ganges. A Turkish king was ruling there. He had stopped all arrangements to cross the river. Then Madhwacharya proceeded to swim across the river Ganges. Then he asked the disciples to hold their feet. Then the soldiers of the Turk king came running towards him. But Madhvacharya told them without any fear.

But when Madhwacharya was swimming across the river with his disciples, the army came to stop him. He told the soldiers to swim and stay there till we come, we are unarmed. Then he reached the shore and fearlessly walked towards the soldiers. Even the ruler of the Turks was influenced by Mamata's eyes filled with Acharya's brilliance.

Our Guru mentioned it, but he did not say that the land of Udupi Mutt was given by the Muslim kings. Because of this confusion, he may have made such a statement. But I think it is pointless to continue this discussion as it is baseless.
