This is the second volume of a translation of India's most beloved
and influential epic saga, the monumental R?m?ya?a of V?lm?ki. Of
the seven sections of this great Sanskrit masterpiece, the
Ayodhyak???a is the most human, and it remains one of the best
introductions to the social and political values of traditional
India. This readable translation is accompanied by commentary that
elucidates the various problems of the text--philological,
aesthetic, and cultural. The annotations make extensive use of the
numerous commentaries on the R?m?ya?a composed in medieval India.
The substantial introduction supplies a historical context for the
poem and a critical reading that explores its literary and
ideological components.
