Synopsis It is doubtful whether the rich and varied contributions made by Keralite authors to various branches of Sanskrit literature have received the attention they merit.  Sankarakavi, the author of mellifluous Mahakavya, Srikrishnavijaya, is another outstanding poet belonging to this class of writers. This research work of Dr. Reeja B. Kavanal attempts to analyse the mahakavya Sriksnavijaya of Sankara Kavi in a critical perspective.
