Manuscripts of a free explanatory rendering, in Malayalam verses, of the Laghujātaka or Laghuhorā of Varāhamihira, called Laghuhorāvivaraṇam have been identified. The author does not reveal his name but mentions his teacher Rāma and the date of composition of the work, viz., A.D. 1640. The author says in the beginning of the work that he had already composed a Horāsāra in Malayalam, possibly a free explanatory rendering, like the present work, of the Hora.
