Among the renowned scholars and patrons of literature produced by the scholarly royal house of Koṭungallūr, near Cochin, Goda Varmā, better known as Vidvān Iḷaya Tampurān, occupies a place in the front rank. He was a versatile scholar and has written profusely, both in Sanskrit and in Malayalam. In astronomy he has produced erudite commentaries in Sanskrit on the *Gaṇitādhyāya* (*Bhāskarīya-gaṇita*) and the *Golādhyāya* of the *Siddhāntaśiromaṇi* of Bhāskara II.²
