Published in 1929, this Malayalam Kilippaattu brought the story of Ayyappa to popular attention for the first time in literature.
The Ayyappa Documentation Project of the Sabari Sharanasramam Trust[2] followed the book up and managed to obtain a copy of the 1947 edition.
The status of Sreemath Sree Bhoothanaathopakhyaanam Kilippaattu as far as religion and spirituality are concerned, is the same as that of the Ramayanam and Bhaagavatham Kilippaatu by Ezhuthacchan.
Kummanam Rajasekharan has exhorted devotees to use the book for daily reading in temples and at home.
He has also asked that the holy Vrischikam month be observed henceforth as Sree Bhoothanaatha Maasam.
