Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri was a non believer from a very orthodox family.  He lost his father when he is very young. He got a elder brother and Mother.  Brother was mentally not well.  After a while both of them passed away.  That made Melpathur Bhattathiri forced to join a guru and started his education.  He become a very good student under the training of his guru Achutha Pisharody and he started believe in God.

But he had to taken over his Guru Achutha Pisharody's Reumatism, which made his life miserable. He could not move and suffered from severe pain.  He thus decided to go to His lord's temple "Guruvayur" .  He went to Guruvayur with the help of one of his friends.  On the way he happen to met with Ezhuthachan who was a scholar and got advice that he should compose Lord's incarnations starting from Matsyavathara.
