Hari Gopalan Citar, also known as Sakatevan Citar, is considered to be the most important among the Citars because he was the man to write Akilattirattu Ammanai. In the Adiyeduttharulal part in Akilam One of Akilattirattu the Author claims that it is not he but God who wrote the contents of Akilam.

According to Akilattirattu Ammanai, he was Sakadeva, one among the Panchapandavas and he was made to born in Kali Yukam in a village south to Swamithoppe. He was known Sakadevan in human history. There are also some dubious reports claiming that Hari Gopalan Citar was an illiterate and he did not know even the alphabets of Tamil before he wrote Akilam.
