Padmanābhacarita (पद्मनाभचरित) (by Kṛṣṇaśarman) is the name of a text talking about the Thiruvananthapuram temple.—Several works other than the Purāṇas speak about the glory of the Tiruvanantapuram temple: a Māhātyma named Anantaśayanakṣetramāhātmya, probably composed before the fourteenth century, an early Malayalam work known under the title Anantapuravarṇana, and other texts such as the Syānandūrapurāṇasamuccaya, the Padmanābhodaya by Śaṅku, the Padmanābhacarita by Kṛṣṇaśarman (see Raja 1958, 169–170) and the Padmanābhakīrtana (see Raja 1958, 173) give light on the temple as well as on its glorification.
