THE HISTORIC TALI TEMPLE

According to another version, the Brahmins resorted to pattini or fast unto death seating them on the top of the Surgam. The Zamorin was however firm. They had helped his enemy and they brought dishonor on the royal family, making the sovereign a laughing-stock of all Kerala. He refused to submit to what he regarded as pure political blackmail, however  And before long Zamorin admitted him, Manavikrama, to an honored place of 18 celebrated posts called Patinettara Kavikal (Patinetta Kara Kavikal) or the learned men of the (traditional) eighteen divisions, of Kerala.
