Since I am into Hanigavana let me quote another one that I really enjoyed. This was put up on our PUC (+2 years after 10 years of basic education) college notice board. The poem basically says Malayalis are plague (Malaria) of coastal Karnataka (Tulu region). Again I may not remember the exact words.

Manju, I was referring through your older posts on Tara-Bagavathi and Korati.
A few questions:
1.Korati-not known in Tulu areas-is it feminine of Koraga?
2.Any clues of Tara in Kerala? Did the Tara cult originate in Kerala?
3. Bhagavathi was she a Buddhist queen or monk?
4.Any info on the Beary word Maikala for Mangalapura? Who is the 'Mai' referred to in it Bagavathi,Tara or Mangala?

According to this article Koraga and Korati are both known in Tulu region. In fact, Korati (or Kurati) is mostly found in Malayala region. Not yet heard of Koraga in Malayala region.

I don't have much idea. My understanding is that all the disease spreading/healing local goddesses(Mari-amma) were called Bhagavathi. I believe Mari is not found in Malayala region.
