Copied from ravisiyer.blogspot.com on 14 Apr. 2023, first published there on March 04, 2023 My first post about Thuravoor Narayana Shastri (TNS), eminent Sanskrit scholar, grammarian and teacher of late 1800s and early 1900s from Kerala, seems to have been in July 2016: My family history and how we moved from traditional South Indian Brahmin occupations to others over generations,  https://ravisiyer.blogspot.com/2016/07/some-info-and-speculation-about-my.html  , published 11th July 2016. In that post, I first wrote, "Don't know much about my mother's side. My mother's father was a magistrate (in Trivandrum, IIRC) and I have heard stories about how he was held in pretty high esteem. He and his father, IIRC, were Sanskrit scholars and perhaps his father had been felicitated or had a position in one of the Kerala Hindu king's (Travancore?) court/administration." Then I spoke to my aunt (mother's sister) over phone. After that conversation, I wrote in the post

Sanskrit College, Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) from 1909-1911,  https://tnarayanasasthri.blogspot.com/2023/04/my-great-grandfather-thuravoor-narayana.html  , 16th Dec. 2018, last updated on 28th May 2020. I am trying to get more information about my mother's father's father - my great-grandfather - Thuravoor Narayana Sasthrigal, who, I have been given to understand, was a noted Sanskrit scholar in the late 19th and early 20th century in Travancore kingdom which is now part of Kerala state. Relatives have told me that he was associated with Govt. Sanskrit college, Trivandrum/Thiruvananthapuram, as senior faculty/teacher. I have dug up some information from the Internet about Govt.

I had noted that Bhattasri (or Bhatta Sri) Narayana Sastri was mentioned in the following books: a) 1959 Sahitya Akademi Contemporary Indian Literature Symposium 2nd Ed., in Sanskrit literature chapter by V. Raghavan b) Encyclopaedia of the Hindu World, Volume 1 By Gaṅgā Rām Garg, first published 1992 Both the references mentioned that he had composed 90 odd Sanskrit dramas and reference b) dated
