Adi Shankaracharyaji wrote the Mahanushasanam or Mathamnaya Setu on the operation of the traditional mathas. Kanchi math is not mentioned it in. However, in the lineage of the Acharyas of Kanchi it is believed that Bhagavatpada Sri Adi Shankaracharya stayed there for the maximum amount of time etc, and thus, it is the main matha. Kanchi matha is accepted as a sub-matha and, engagement and association exists with the four traditional mathas of Adi Shankaracharya.
