It is even believed that in poetic compositions, Ezhuthachan had borrowed from Kannassan poets. No gainsaying, the Kannassan poets occupied a place of pride above Ezhuthachan in Kerala. They contend that Madhava Panikkar who composed Bhasha Bhagavad Gita belonged to Malayinkeezhu, Sankara Panikkar, author of Bharatha Mala hailed from Vellangallur, and Rama Panikkar who wrote Ramayanam, Bhagavatham, Bharatham, Sivarathri Mahatmyam was from Niranam. They argue that the Kannassan poets belonged to different regions. But modern day - researchers dispute that Niranam poets are of the same family. Kannappa Panikkar, the father of Madhava Panikkar and Sankara Panikkar, was known as Kannassan. Madhava Panikkar and Sankara Panikkar were uncles of Rama Panikkar. Members of the same family, they lived between AD 1350 and AD1450. It is believed that all of them hailed from Niranam, a hamlet near Thiruvalla Taluk at Pathanamthitta district. Known as Niranam poets, the Kannassan poets include Madhava Panikkar, Sankara Panikkar and Rama Panikkar.
