- The chronology of the puranas encompasses vast swathes of time, and local histories have an idea of a past that is both distant and near at the same time...The "Keralolpatti" itself may be a northern tradition and could be said to
bear the impress of early colonialism and its search for legitimating histories that would allow an easier transition to East India Company rule. (en)
- Attempts to study it [Keralolpathi] were centred largely on the question of accepting or rejecting the veracity of statements related to the heroes and events in this narrative. The concern of these scholars was with the historicity or otherwise of the narrative, rather than the historical consciousness expressed in it, or the form chosen to express it and the social function that it performed. Thus, they failed to identify or appreciate it as an expression, through the medium of performance, of the sense of history shown by sections of Kerala society. (en)
- Latter-day works, like the Kēraḷōlpatti and the Kēraḷamāhātmyaṃ, tell us more about the historical memories that a section of the 17th- and 18th-century elites from Malabar chose to cherish. These texts are invaluable for understanding the mentalities and political aspirations of the period when they were put together, but they can be relied upon for reconstructing an earlier period only with considerable circumspection.
