THE EPIC OF RAM, VOLUME 6 Paperback

The Epic of Ram, Volume 6 is the sixth installment in the Murty Classical Library of India’s English translation of Tulsidas’s Rāmcaritmānas, a revered retelling of the ancient Ramayana. In this volume, the narrative reaches its climax as Ram and his allies engage in a decisive battle against Ravan's forces, culminating in the demon king's defeat. Following Ravan's death, Ram reunites with Sita, and her fidelity is confirmed through the burning of an illusory double. The couple then boards a flying palace to return to Ayodhya, where Ram's fourteen-year exile is nearing its end, and his brother Bharat has been anxiously awaiting his return. This edition offers a new translation into free verse, capturing the passion and momentum of Tulsidas's storytelling, and is accompanied by the most widely accepted edition of the Avadhi text presented in the Devanagari script
