കുംഭീന്ദ്രന് പോയ് ത്രികൂടാചലസരസി മുദാ പണ്ടഗസ്തസ്യ ശാപാല്പിന്കാലിന്മേല് കടിച്ചൂ മുതല കടിവിടാഞ്ഞായിരത്താണ്ടുഴന്നാന്
അന്നേരം പോന്നു വന്നൂ മുരരിപു ഗരുഡാരൂഢനായ് ധ്യാനശക്ത്യാ
നക്രം ചക്രേണ കൊന്നക്കരിവരനഥ സായൂജ്യമേകീ മുകുന്ദന്.
Sree Chakrapani temple is situated near Thrikaripur (South tip of Kasaragod Dt).
Chakrapaani –Vishnu wielding the discuss – symbolises the great story of ‘Gajendra Moksha,’ supposed to have taken place in the nearby Lotus tank, which is full of lotus on certain seasons even today. Parasurama (one of Lord Vishnu's "avathar") during his journey to Kerala concentrated on the construction of temples. He constructed a city of towers and mansions decorated with gold and precious stones. He made a menagerie for elephants with arrangements for feeding and breeding. This place is known as "Thiru Karipuram and later on "Thrikkaripuram" which with the passage of time came to be known as the present day "Thrikaripur".
The idol inside the sanctum sanctorum is said to have been age old.It is believed that the origin of the temple dates back to the era of "Parasurama" and the idol was solemnised and consecreted by him.
The mythological and legendary annals limelight the deep rooted references pinpointing this temple.The origin of the temple is narrated in chapters 21 to 24 of "Brahmanda Puranam" and this particular part is known as "Kerala Mahathmiam".It is in the form of a conversation between sage "Garga"(The Yyadava guru) and "Yudhishtira" narrating the glory of leading to eternal salvation. 
The inscriptions engraved on the walls of the Sree koil and the praakaaram are found in Tamil, which clearly indicates that once upon a time Tamil used to be the language largely spoken in the area. If we delve deeper into the past history it will reveal that many kings and feudal lords from Chola, Chera and Pandya kingdoms have worshipped and contributed to the protection of this temple and also benefitted by winning over their enemies by worshipping the deity at this Sathru-samhaaramurthy- Sreechakrapaani temple.
History Says, even Tipu Sultan’s army could not penetrate this place while his army ravaged many Hindu temples in the north Malabar area. Tipu’s army was made to believe that a herd of elephants chased them from approaching the walls of this temple.
Trikaripur has a hoary cultural past with Kathakali gurus such as T.K. Chanduppanikkar, Chindanpanikkar and Ambuppanikkar, well known as the trio Kathakali legends. The Brahmin communities (Namboothiri Illams) nurtured and patronised several Kathakali, Oottamtullal and martial art Kalaris. This place has given birth to several great poets, playwrights and freedom fighters. The famous 'Quit-India' movement and 'Uppu-satyagraha ' part of freedom fighting happened 5 km away Uliyadathu kadavu .
