It is already discussed in detail about the contributions made by Kerala to the field of 艢腻蝉迟谤补办腻惫测补 literature. These contributions have prominent place in the study of grammar. 厂耻产丑补诲谤腻丑补谤补峁嘺, V膩sudevavijaya, 顿丑腻迟耻办腻惫测补, 笔腻峁噄苍墨测补蝉奴迟谤辞诲腻丑补谤补峁嘺办腻惫测补, 艢谤墨肠颈丑苍补办腻惫测补, 搁腻尘补惫补谤尘补尘补丑腻谤腻箩补肠补谤颈迟谤补, 厂耻谤奴辫补谤腻驳丑补惫补, 厂耻驳补濒腻谤迟丑补尘腻濒腻 etc. are prominent 艢腻蝉迟谤补办腻惫测补s from Kerala. All these works are highly significant.
Though all of these works occupy their own significant place, the prominence of V膩sudevavijaya among them is noteworthy. Hence this section attempts to discuss the importance of V膩sudevavijaya among the Keralite 艢腻蝉迟谤补办腻惫测补s. There are some peculiarities to this poem which can be divided under several heads.
V膩sudevavijaya teaches the Paninian rules of grammar through the story of lord 碍峁涐梗峁嘺. In Kerala it is the only complete work in this field which makes the illustration through 碍峁涐梗峁嘺鈥檚 story. Learning such a difficult science like grammar through the medium of the story of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 increases the student鈥檚 interest in that subject. Generally the stories regarding epics and 辫耻谤腻峁嘺蝉 are familiar and popular among people. V膩sudevavijaya is a poem with the theme of 叠丑腻驳补惫补迟补辫耻谤腻峁嘺. Especially in Kerala the story of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺 is too much popular than any other story and this helps to seek reader鈥檚 interest. Though the poems 顿丑腻迟耻办腻惫测补 and 笔腻峁噄苍墨测补蝉奴迟谤辞诲腻丑补谤补峁嘺办腻惫测补 are dealt within the story of 碍峁涐梗峁嘺, they are illustrating only a part of 础峁ａ弓腻诲丑测腻测墨. Thus it can be said that one of the reasons for the prominence of V膩sudevavijaya in Kerala is the selection of such a popular theme.
