During then the learned Brahmins bless the Zamorin and his family members on receiving honours, titles etc. This according to astrologers would tantamount to expiation of mss brahmahatya. The tradition continued for long and was deemed the best of such similar ones, the temples and rulers introduced and conducted regularly in those days.
