UnnayiWarrier seems to have been influenced by the pattern of classical drama in Sanskrit.
Of all the writers of attakkathas UnnayiWarrier alone seems to have had the totality of his work in perspective; most of the others concentrated on the details and forgot about the whole.
For instance it was the job of the MÅ«ttatu to clean the outer courtyard of the temple.
However it was the job of the Warrier who did not wear the thread to clean the more important, inner sanctum.
