When someone reported to Samoothiri that the portuguese were taking away the pepper plants to be cultivated in their country, it is said that the Calicut King Samoothiri replied..
അവര്ക്ക് കുരുമുളക് വളളി കൊണ്ടുപോകാന് കഴിയും..
തിരുവാതിര ഞാറ്റുവേല കൊണ്ടുപോകാന് കഴിയില്ലല്ലോ....
they can take away the plant of pepper
but they cannot take away the thiruvathira njattruvela from Kerala..
