The classic poetry about the Lord Narayana by the great Sanskrit grammatical poet Narayana Bhattathiripad almost condenses the great purana Shrimad Bhagavatam. He remain renowned in the name of his house Melpathur. Even though it was written about the year 1586, it seems to have enter into the critic world only on the 18th century. In this poem, with his extraordinary literary merit, his devotional fervour towards the lord Guruvayurappan, he verbiages towards the lord in 1035 shlokas. Dividing the poetry into 100 dashakams, condensing the 18000 shlokas of Bhagavatam, his solemn prayer supplicates for "aayurarogyasoukhyam"..... i.e. life, health and convenience.
Now we can start an open discussion about the poem and poet, which had done by millions.......
May Lord Guruvayoorappan dispense the same boon to all, endowed to Melpathur......
