Unnayi Warrier, in popular esteem, belongs to the great classic trio in Malayalam literature-Ezhuttacchan (16th century) and Kunchan Nambiar (18th Century), being the other two. His poetic drama Nala-charitam' with its veritable imaginative force and original verbal expression, represents the high mark of poetic achievement. Enigmatic and half-understood, even misunderstood, it passed on through generations, with diverse interpretations, the sheer charm having its hold over the mind of a people. The expressions still evoke live controversies; those seeming contradictions, those undertones, suggestions and seminal grammar continue to be explored. A study of Warrier naturally centres on this work, as has happened in this book.
