The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c13.75

v1.c13.75

² Cf. S. Paramesvara Aiyar, Travancore and Vijayanagar, C.C.M., XXII, p. 188; Nagam Aiya, The Travancore State, I, p. 297. St. Xavier in his letters calls him Iniquitribirim (M.H.S.J., Mon. Xav., I, p. 314, 337, 339, 343, 344, 345 and 349), a name that clearly sounds like a corruption of Unni Kerala Varma. Mackenzie, Christianity in Travancore p. 64, says In quitribirim " stands for Enakku Tamburan, meaning Our Prince. This is vulgar Tamil; but from the words of the Lord's Prayer in Tamil, which Francis gives in one of his letters, it appears that Francis spoke the vulgar Tamil of his fisher converts on the coast; and they, in their rude speech, would call the Maharaja Enakku Tamburan."
