Books to be Traced Out

The variety that is represented by the works of Chattampi Swami that could be traced out illustrates the vastness and depth of his scholarship. Swami was well versed in handling the languages Malayalam, Tamil and Sanskrit. His proficiency in music gave sweetness and beauty to the poems and keerthans he composed. Some mysterious indifference, which may be the nature of avadutas like him made him leave many works unfinished. Even if he has completed some he left them where he lived at the time of writing them and attempts to collect and collate them are not made till late by any. Whatever he wrote he left with those who were around him at the time with the intention that they will conserve, learn and share the content with those who may use it. A few of them have done it as he intended and that is why some of his works are still available at least partially. Others considered the papers he left as some divine articles to be worshipped. Their care was to preserve the physical form of those materials. They never gave the seriousness in conserving and disseminating the content and so many of works in full as well as many parts of almost all his available works were lost to us.
