Divakaran Namputiri has been reissued recently in Calicut Sanskrit Series 50, 2013 [Vedāṅgadīpti (Collected works of K.N.M. D N.], pp. 153-215). According to K. Kunjunni Raja (CKSL pp. 151 fn. 150; 206, 243, with reference to Ullur KSC), Govindanātha was "a disciple of Rāma Vāriyar belonging to the Karikkāṭṭu Vāriyam in South Malabar" and is also the author of a yamaka poem Gaurīkalyāṇa depicting the mariage of Pārvatī and Śiva (unpublished ; in 3 āśvāsas, noted for its simplicity and lucidity). This Rāma Vāriyar of Karikkat was a contemporary of  Nārāyaṇa Bhaṭṭa of Melputtūr, so G "must have flourished in the first half of the seventeenth century A.D."
> G. recognized himself (1.6-7) that his work is based on Vyāsācalīya's Śaṅkaravijaya (publ. Madras GOML series 24, 1954), cf. Antarkar 2004, pp. 40 (+ 95 fn.), 48, etc., Pande 1994, pp. 21-22.

>> W. R. Antarkar, who is/was the world's leading expert on the various Śaṅkara-vijayas, in his English Introduction to his Sanskrit edition of Govindanātha's Śaṅkarācāryacaritam has a few paragraphs about him. This was published in Bhāratīya Vidyā, vol. 52, 1992, pp. 55-141. If needed, I can send you a scan of this.
