Lilatilakam

Lilatilakam (IAST: Līlā-tilakam, "diadem of poetry") is a 14th century Sanskrit-language treatise on the grammar and poetics of the Manipravalam language form, a precursor of the modern Malayalam language spoken in the Kerala state of India.

Date and authorship

Lilatilakam is an anonymous work, and is generally dated to the late 14th century.[1] It is attested by two (possibly three) manuscripts, and is not referred to by any other surviving pre-modern source.[2]

Contents

Lilatilakam (literally "diadem of poetry"[3]) calls itself the only disciplinary treatise (shastra) on Manipravalam, which it describes as the "union" of Sanskrit and Kerala-bhasha (the regional language spoken in Kerala).[4]

The text is written in Sanskrit language, in form of a series of verses with commentary; it also features examples of Manipravalam-language verses.[4]

gollark: Now, *technically* I could implement all the filtering and sensor fusion algorithms and calibration myself in python, however no.
gollark: So, I want to read some values from an I2C device. Now, you might think "foolish gollark that's something like 50 lines of python at absolute most", and it is except to get anything but raw values I need to use some on-chip "digital motion processor" which is extremely poorly documented.
gollark: Yes, I was replying to ubq.
gollark: I'm having to edit and use 3000 lines of code I don't understand which is doing low-level sorcery to interface with some hardware.
