The
Pride of Brahmins
The Brahmins were proud of their status and learning. When Marthanda Varma of Travancore
sent invitations to them to participate in the very first murajaparn he started they
derided stating "that we have only Perumtrikovilappan (the Lord of Taliparamba) as
our Maharaja." Such was the pride and esteem in which they held their deity.
According to Kerala Mahatmya, it was Bhargavarama who brought 15,000 Brahmins from
Ahichatrarn and settled them at Taliparamba. Mayura Varma, one of the Kolattiris (as the
rulers of Kolathunad were called) built the village for those Brahmins and endowed them
-with properties to enable them to lead a life ofm piety and learning. Indeed there was no
village in Kerala to equal Taliparamba in respect of learning, devotion etc. |
