Kalyanamalla

Kalyanamalla or Kalyan Malla was a 15th–16th-century Indian poet and writer of Ananga Ranga aka 'Stage of the Bodiless One', a sanskrit manuscript on 'Art of Love'. In the description of his ancestry, Kalyanmalla says he belongs to the Karpūra lineage and is explicitly described as “kārpūra-rājanya”. The verse further praises him as a ruler of noble fame and martial prowess, suggesting that the inscriptional tradition represented him as a Karpūra Kshatriya or Karpūra Rajanya. The historical chronicle titled Saga of Kalyanamalla , authored by Vallabharayar, is based on the life and times of Kalyanamalla, who is known as Casanova of the East.
