He was born in the Kilimanoor palace. He was an expert in Drutha Kavitha[1] and hence was known as Drutha Kavimani. He is known as Kareendran since he was tall and well built. His ability in writing and presenting poems within seconds earned for him the title Vidwan from His Highness Swathi Thirunal.
