- Mushika-vamsha (IAST: Mūṣika-vaṃśa mahā-kāvyam) is a Sanskrit dynastic chronicle composed in 11th century by poet Atula. It narrates the legendary history of the Mushika dynasty, which ruled the northern part of the present-day Kerala state of India. The chronicle moves from mythological beginnings of the founding ancestors to more authentic genealogical history in later sargas. Several kings mentioned in the kavya, such as Validhara Vikrama Rama (c. 929 AD), Jayamani and Kantan Karivarman (Srikantha Kartha) (both c. 1020 AD) and Chera king Kota Ravi Vijayaraga (c. 883–913 AD) can be found in the medieval inscriptions discovered from north Kerala.

- ...you should not take your own unhappy life,
Nor yet ought you to obstruct this offspring
left like this in you by your husband. (en)
- Excellent women emerged from the houses because of the threshing fire,
their children hanging on to them in the danger;
Their very unsteady hands
waving to the dancing of their braids of hair. (en)
- His belly rent by a sharp sword,
though fallen on the ground unconscious,
The enemy soldier slowly regained consciousness
through the breeze from the wings of a bird violently dragging out his intestines (en)
- The very skilful girl friend, having understood the emotion
of the playful one whose mind was besieged by Love,
On the pretext of a spray she could pick with her own hand,
led the beloved to a deserted creeper-house. (en)
- Where the totality of deities live together
like the species of animals of the forest who have found a place
In a hermitage of successful ascetics,
perceived in the world as extremely contradictory. (en)
