Description
Cherusseri Namboothiri Is A 15Th-Century Malayalam Poet Who Belonged To Kolathunadu In Northern Kerala. He Was A Court Poet Of Udaya Varma (1446-1475) And The Author Of Krishna Gatha, A Poem Which Is Considered A Landmark In The Development Of Malayalam Literature. Rishna Gatha Is A Long Poem Of Epical Dimensions Written At The Behest Of Udaya Varma. It Is The First Maha Kavya In Malayalam. Udaya Varma Rewarded Him With The Title Veerasrinkhala And Other Honours. Cherusseri Is The Originator Of The Gatha Style Of Poetry In Malayalam. Krishna Gatha Is The Detailed Description Of The Boyhood Pranks Of Lord Krishna Based On The 10Th Canto Of Srimad Bhagavatam, An Early Puranic Text. Cherusseri'S Importance Lies In His Clear Inclination Towards Native Tongue, By Which His Poetry Became Popular Among The People Of Kerala. With The Writing Of Krishna Gatha, The Validity Of The Use Of Spoken Malayalam For Literary Purposes Received Its Ultimate Justification. Unlike The Language Of Cheeraman'S Ramacharitam And The Works Of The Niranam Poets, The Language Of Krishna Gatha Marks The Culmination Of A Stage Of Evolution. This Work Has Been Respected By The People Of Kerala Similar To Thunchaththu Ezhuthachan'S Adhyathmaramayanam (Ezhuthachan Is Known As The Father Of Modern Malayalam Literature). The Legend Is That Cherusseri Was Inspired By A Lullaby And Followed The Same Metrical Pattern For The Composition Of Krishna Gatha. It Is Written In A Melodious Metre Known As Manjari.
