He is sent by his father the king to rescue a sage from persecution by demons, but must first kill a fearsome ogress. That done, he drives out the demons, restores peace, and attends a tournament in the neighboring city of Mithila; here he bends the bow that no other warrior can handle, winning the prize and the hand of Sita, the princess of Mithila.Valmíki's Ramáyana is one of the two great national epics of India, the source revered throughout South Asia as the original account of the career of Rama, ideal man and incarnation of the great god Vishnu.

It begins with a fascinating excursus on the origins and function of poetry itself.Co-published by New York University Press and the JJC FoundationFor more on this title and other titles in the Clay Sanskrit series, please visit http://www.claysanskritlibrary.orgLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 152mmItem Length: 102mmItem Weight: 318gTranslator: Robert GoldmanContributor: Amartya Sen (Foreword by), Robert Goldman (Translated by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Clay Sanskrit LibraryAuthor: ValmikiRelease Year: 2005 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
