Rāma Varmā of the royal house of Grāmam was a scion of the principality of Parappanāṭ which took refuge in Travancore when Tipu Sultan of Mysore invaded Malabar in 1807. He was a versatile scholar and author of several literary works. He studied Jyotiṣa under Prince Ampurājā at the Chirakkal Palace in North Malabar and composed, in that discipline, the *Jyotiṣapradīpa*, an instructive introduction to astronomy.³
