About the author

N.V.P. Unithiri

Dr. N.V.P. Unithiri is one of the few scholars who have been engaged in the deep study of various facets of Kerala Sanskrit literature for the past three decades.  In fact, his efforts can be regarded as conplementary to the work of the pioneers in that he focuses his attention on many fresh areas left untreated or inadequately treated.  The present work, which is a collection of eighteen research papers, deals with many fascinating aspects of the Sanskrit heritage of Kerala.  Sanskrit has been a medium of creative expression of some remarkably brilliant poets; it was also a language of Kerala?s philosophical thought.  We have, again, turn to Sanskrit to decipher Sanskrit sources like inscriptions and Mahakavyas to find out the missing links in Kerala history.  Last, but not the lest, our scientific heritage can be unearthed only when we can decode Sanskrit source books on Astronomy, Mathematics, Architecture and Medicine.  In short, it can be stated without any exaggeration that the role of Sanskrit in molding the culture and lifestyles of Kerala has been versatile.  Dr. Unithiri spares no pains in unearthing this vast output through his meticulously written papers, which are commendable for the rich insights they yield.
