Keralamahatmiya.—Tradition as recorded in the Keralamahatmiya, traces the Nambutiris to Ahikshetra, whence Parasu Rama invited Brahmans to settle in his newly reclaimed territory. In view to preventing the invited settlers from relinquishing it, he is said to have introduced, on the advice of the sage Narada, certain deep and distinctive changes in their personal, domestic, and communal institutions. The banks of the Nerbudda, the Krishna, and the Kaveri are believed to have given Brahmans to Malabar.
