Athula (IAST: Atula), fl. 11th century AD, was a medieval Sanskrit-language poet from the Mushika or Ezhimala kingdom, located in present-day northern Kerala (the Malabar Coast), south India.[1][2] He is best known for composing the Mushika-vamsa-kavya, a mahakavya (epic poem) about the ruling dynasty of the kingdom.[3][1]
The dynastic chronicle was composed in the court of Mushika ruler Srikantha ("Kantan Karivarman", in Malayalam).[4][5]
