A manipravalakavya in Malayalam, also known as Chandrikamahotsava and Medinichandrotsava.It is split into 5 khandas and has over 570 shlokas. It is believed to have been written in 16 AD. The background is thus.
Once a gandharva and his consort were making love in the Marataka mountain, when a scent reached them. She requested him to get her the flower. He reached Chittilapally in Kerala after a long search and learned that it emanated from the chandrotsava being celebrated by a prostitute named Medinivennila. The story is about his narration to his consort of the 6 days of celebrations which he saw there.
Near Chittilapally was born a prostitute named Mati. Medinivennila was her daughter and an incarnation of Chandra’s wife Chandrika. The reason for this is that once Shachi conducted a chandrotsava in devaloka. Menaka and Chandra fell in love with each other there and promised to meet each other there. But Chandrika arrived there in Menaka’s form and fooled Chandra. Chandra was angry and cursed that she would be born as a prostitute, and said that she would be released when a chandrotsava was celebrated. That was why Medinivennila had conducted a chandrotsava. It is also believed that this was a festival to appease Kama.
