A member of the Tāmaraṇallūr family has produced an authoritative work entitled *Muhūrtavidhi*, called also *Muhūrtam Bhāṣā*. The work is popularly known as *Tāmaraṇallūr Bhāṣā*, after its author. It deals with the fixation of auspicious times for functions and is composed in early *bhāṣā-miśra* (Skt.-Mal.) verses. The author, who does not reveal his personal name, makes mention of his patron Ceyyūr (?Cellūr) Nārāyaṇan Nampūtiri and might have hailed from Periñcellūr in Malabar.¹
