		The poets of manipravalam were darlings of fortune and minions of Venus.
		Manipravalam, in its early days, was not merely a matter of linguistic peculiarity or dictional individuality, as the Leelathilakam _ an early work on grammar, rhetoric, etc. which was in circulation by the end of the fourteenth century, that is, two or three centuries after the beginning of this kind of poetry-suggests.
		In the midst of all this revelry we hear the mighty strains of a lofty lay rising above the salacious warblings of manipravalam, ramakathappattu to rise above the better known poems of the period.

	Grantha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grantha script was also historically used for writing Tamil-Sanskrit Manipravalam, a blend of Tamil and Sanskrit which was used in the exegesis of Sanskrit texts.
		This evolved into a fairly complex writing system which required that Tamil words be written in the Tamil vatteluthu and Sanskrit words be written in the Grantha script.
		This system of writing went out of use when Manipravalam declined in popularity, but it was customary to use the same convention in printed editions of texts originally written in Manipravalam until the middle of the 20th century.

		The relation of Manipravalam with the Jainas and that of Pattu with Tamil lyrical poetry could also be noted.
		The preference for romantic taste in the Manipravalam poetry and the heroic trend in the hagiographic works were the characteristics of feudalism as well as the streams of Great Tradition.
