Composed in 1893 just after the installation of the Śiva Temple at Kolattukara near Trivandrum. This was written at the request of the devotees who had gathered there. Madanartta is the metre of this Malayalam work. ‘Kolatira' is the Sanskrit equivalent to ‘Kolattukara’, the Malayalam name of a place near Trivandrum, where the Guru installed the image of Śiva in a newly built temple.
