message: I read somewhere that Asan became a mahakavi without writing a Mahakavyam (Mahakaavyamezhuthaathe Mahaakaviyaaya eka kavi...).If this is true,then some changes have to be made in the article.I am not sure.--Sahodaran 04:31, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I own the book (Asante Padyakrthikal) cited at the end of this article. The back cover includes a picture (painting?) of Kumaran Asan, sitting in a dark background with leaves of various colors. Is it OK by Wikipedia standards to take a picture of the back cover? Or would that violate the book's copyright or something?--Kuaichik 02:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm. I'll check with someone else. The bookcover is allowed only in a discussion about the book. But photos which are more than 70 years old are in public domain, but not sure whether it applies to those which appear in a book. Tintin (talk) 05:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Credited for being the only Mahakavi who didn't write a Mahakavyum.
:I have often read P. Kunujiraman Nair being referred to as 'Mahakavi P.'. He hasn't written any Mahakavyas, has he ? There could be such others too.
::I am deleting this line now. See this news report about the 'Mahakavi P Kunjiraman Nair Award'. There are a few others like Akkitham who have also been called Mahakavis. Tintin (talk) 06:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Pretty big. 904 pages in all (including commentary). It includes all of Kumaran Asan's works, as far as I know. Certainly it includes all of the poems listed on this page. --Kuaichik 02:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I have a hunch that much of the information here is copied from the website http://www.geocities.com/guruforum/kumaranasan.htm. I suppose I could be wrong; maybe the website owner actually copied from this article and then forgot to attribute some of the information properly. All I know for sure is that many of the sentences in this article (including the controversial one concerning the Sreebuddhacharitham) are (almost) exactly the same as those in the above-mentioned website. --Kuaichik 02:34, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
