The Kaladīpa of Vāsudevasvāmi has an elaborate commentary which gives the name of its author as Śyāmalavāraṇaraja. The name is obviously the Sanskritisation of the author's Malayalam name. Since he describes himself as a ‘rāja’ and a manuscript of the work has been found only in in the palace of Punattūrkoṭṭa, it is likely that the author is a member of that household.¹
