Candavarman (चन्दवर्मन्) is the son of Nūpārāma and grandson of Īśānavarman, an ancient king, according to the historical poem Mūṣikavaṃśa by Atula dealing with the royal lineage of North Kerala in roughly 1000 verses.—Even though the kingship was passed on Nūpārāma [i.e., the son of Īśānavarman] and, at the time of his death to his son Candavarman, true to the blessings of Kālī, ultimately it had to be handed over to Pālaka (son of Nandinī) himself, at the time of their untimely death.
