The illustrious
Zamorin took the sage to Calicut where he performed poojas in the palace. After this the
Zamorins became miraculously prosperous.
Sreedhar Menon in his A Survey of Kerala History records that Raghava, the famous king of
Kolathunad, who ruled early in the 14th century, was a patron of Raghavananda who wrote
the Krishnapadi commentary on the Bhagavata Purana.
Rendezvous of Scholars
From time immemorial Taliparamba was a rendezvous of scholars and men of letters from all
over the State. They were received in a special mandapa called Kottumpuram (which is
on the left side of the temple courtyard as you enter) and honored with gifts like shawls
and bracelets. Those who were thus honored could enter any assembly of scholars and
were assured of a ceremonious welcome. |
