Dear friends,
I have come across the following verse related to Adi Shankaracharya's establishing the first matha, and if any of you have any clue about its source, may i request you kindly to share the details.
" samsthApya swamatham kr.tvA tungabhadrAnadeetatE
tatra sthitvA dvAdas.Abdam yatim pr.thvIdharAbhidham "
