Mushika-vamsha

Mushika-vamsha (IAST: Mūṣika-vaṃśa mahā-kāvyam) is a Sanskrit dynastic chronicle composed in 11th century by poet Atula.[1][2] It narrates the legendary history of the Mushika dynasty, which ruled the northern part of the present-day Kerala state of India.[1][2] The chronicle moves from mythological beginnings of the founding ancestors to more authentic genealogical history in later sargas.[1]

Several kings mentioned in the text, such as Validhara Vikrama Rama (c. 929),[3] Jayamani[4] and Kantan Karivarman (Srikantha Kartha) (both c. 1020)[5] and Chera king Kota Ravi Vijayaraga (c. 883–913)[6] can be found in the medieval inscriptions discovered from north Kerala.
