Govindabhaṭṭa of Talakkulam in Ālattūr near Tirūr in Kerala, who is also known as Talakkulattu Bhaṭṭatiri, is traditionally said to have been born on Kali ahargaṇa represented by rakṣed govindam arkaḥ or 1,584,362; this corresponds to 14 November 1236. His death is traditionally said to have occurred on the Kali ahargaṇa represented by kālindīprīyutaṣṭaḥ or 1,612,831; this corresponds to 24 October 1314. Parameśvara (ca. 1380/1460) was a grandson of one of Govinda's pupils. See K. K. Raja [1963] 132–133. We have two works by Govindabhaṭṭa.
