Keralam thus means the country between Gokarnam and Kumari ( Kerala are given by Panini (beginning of 7th century B.C), Patanjali (B.C. 150), Pliny (1st century A.D), Pe (2nd century AD), and also in Kautilias Arthasasthra (4th Century BC), and in Kalidasas Reghuvamsa (Ch A.D), Thiruvilangad Plates of Rajendra Chola (1012-44) and Keralolpatthi (the Malayalam work most pro century).
