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. Volume 5 encompasses the story's three
middle episodes-Ram's meetings with forest sages, his battles with
demons, the kidnapping of his wife, his alliance with a race of
marvelous monkeys-and climaxes with the god Hanuman's heroic
journey to the island city of Lanka to locate and comfort Sita.
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.
