The authoritative new translation of the epic Ramayana, as retold
by the sixteenth-century poet Tulsidas and cherished by millions to
this day. The Epic of Ram presents a new translation of the
Ramcaritmanas of Tulsidas (1543-1623). Written in Avadhi, a
literary dialect of classical Hindi, the poem has become the most
beloved retelling of the ancient Ramayana story across northern
India. A devotional work revered and recited by millions of Hindus
today, it is also a magisterial compendium of philosophy and lore
and a literary masterpiece. In the second volume, prompted by the
tyranny of the demon king Ravan, Ram decides to be born on earth.
Tulsidas lovingly details Ram's infancy, childhood, and youthful
adventures, the winning of Princess Sita as his bride, and the
celebration of their marriage. This new translation into free verse
conveys the passion and momentum of its inspired poet and
storyteller. It is accompanied by the most widely accepted edition
of the Avadhi text, presented in the Devanagari script.
