6) *Pālāṭṭu Koman*. Koman Nāyar, another nephew of Otenan, the son of Kuñkiamma of Kappullipālāṭṭu, became famous under the name Komappan. The family feud between the Kuruppus of Toṇṇūrāmvītu and the Nāyars of Pālāṭṭu was a long-standing affair. There were seven Kuruppus during the days of Koman, and they had two sisters named Uṇṇicciruta and Uṇṇiamma. Koman felt a great passion towards Uṇṇiamma, who was bathing in the tank, and her brothers rushed to kill Koman. But Koman outlived all obstacles created by the seven brothers of Uṇṇiamma and the tale-bearing Uṇṇicciruta because of the cleverness of the very intelligent Uṇṇiamma. Koman also got settled by Otenan the fortytwo items of family quarrels and married Uṇṇiamma.
