I would like to point out that many scholars, both Western and Indian, Sri Vaishnava and otherwise, are of the opinion that the mukunda maala stotram is not by the same kulasekhara maharaja as kulasekhara aazhvaar. The ambiguity lies in the fact that all the kings of that dynasty were known as kulasekhara. One of the reasons the scholars believe that the stotra was composed much after the aazhvaar's existence is the lack of references by great pUrvAcAryas, including Desika, Pillai Lokacharya, etc. All this lends credence to the opinion that it was composed probably in the 13th or 14th century by another Chera king.
