The Saagara Dwijans of Kerala

[This article covers, in short, the migration and settlement of a section of Sivolly Tulu families (later joined the Namboothiri community and came to be known as Saagara Namboothiris ) in North Kerala and their subsequent migration to South Kerala. Given below are:
1. List of Saagara Namboothiris (with Graamam, Griham, Gothram and Pravaram of each of these 237 families, excluding the 14 extinct ones);
2. List of families migrated to South Kerala, and established Chakrakshaalanapuram Brahmaswam Sabhaayogam at Thiruvalla;
3. List of temples assigned to them with the number of families attached to each temple; and
4. Summary of features of these 237 families.                                   - EDITOR]

Kolathiri Raja, Udayavarman, wished to wear "Yajnopaveetham" ("Poonool" or sacred thread) by performing "Hiranyagarbham". Since the Namboothiris were not prepared, Udayavarman brought 237 ["Sagara" refers to this number according to "Paralpper" (Click here for Paralpper)] families of Illams from Gokarnam on Kalidinam "Pujyomara sree bhupena", i.e., 1422511, and settled them in five Desams, Cheruthazham, Kunniriyam, Arathil, Kulappuram and Vararuchimangalam of Perinchelloor Graamam. This was in 1617 AD (792 ME) corresponding to 3894 of Yugaabdam. They believe that they came to Gokarnam from Abhischathra in Paanchaala. All are Sivolly Tulu Braahmanans. They belonged to four Gothrams and 14 Grihams of Edukunchi, Vilakkoor and Gunavantham Graamams of Gokarnam. It is said that King Mahendravarman of Gokarnam requested to construct a "Chira" (embankment) at Chirakkal within 24 hours for the "Snanam" (bathing) of these 237 Braahmanans, and King Udayavarman did it.

For the 237 Illams to worship, Sree Raghavapuram temple (Hanuman Kavu) at Pilathara was assigned and they considered it as their Graamam temple. The 93 Edukunchi Illams out of it had the Ooraayma of Cheruthazham Sreekrishnapuram temple, 62 Gunavantham Illams that of Arathil Sreebhadrapuram temple and the 82 Vilakkoor Illams that of Udayapurath Haripuram temple.

Later, the then Travancore Raja brought 185 of these Saagara families to Thiruvalla. They are generally called Thiruvalladesi Embraanthiris. All of them follow the customs of Namboothiris.

Subsequent to the original 237 Illams, another batch of 257 Illams also migrated to Kerala. They are known as "Samudra dwijans" (Samudra stands for 257 according to Paralpper). Previously, there were no marriage alliances between Samudra and Saagara sects. And the Namboothiris did not marry from either of these sects. After the "Kshethra Pravesana Vilambaram" (temple entry proclamation), Chithira Thirunaal Maharaja of Travancore issued an order on 20-08-1113 (ME) by which the Saagara Dwija people were considered equal in status to the Namboothiris of Sukapuram, Perumanam and Irinjalakuda Graamams, in all matters. Later, the Saagara-Samudra differences also gradually disappeared.
