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. The fourth volume turns to the story of
Ram's younger half-brother Bharat. Despite efforts to place him on
the throne of Avadh, Bharat refuses, ashamed that Ram has been
exiled. In Bharat's poignant pilgrimage to the forest to beg the
true heir to return, Tulsidas draws an unforgettable portrait of
devotion and familial love. This new translation into free verse
conveys the passion and momentum of the inspired poet and
storyteller. It is accompanied by the most widely accepted edition
of the Avadhi text, presented in the Devanagari script.
