Origin
The author of Sri Krishna Karnamrutham is Vilvamangalam Swamiyar. He was a contemporary of Swami Desikan (AD 1268-1369). Since he described with great joy the leelas of Krishna like Shukadev Goswami, the author of Bhagavata Purana, he came to be known as Leela Shuka. Leelasuka belonged to a saivite family by tradition. But he became a devotee of Krishna. Hence he refers to his traditional background by saying that he wears the feet of Lord Siva on his head. He belongs to the tradition of great devotees of Krishna of Kerala such as Narayana Bhattadhiri, the author of Sri NarayaNeeyam, Poonthaanam and Vasudeva Namboodiri and other great scholars of Dasama skhandham of Bhagavata Purana.
