A timeless epic, it recounts the legend of the noble prince Rama and his battle to vanquish the demon king Ravana. Even before he is crowned king of Ayodhya, Rama is exiled to the Dandaka forests where he is accompanied by his beauteous wife Sita and loyal brother Lakshmana. Deep in the jungle, Sita is abducted by Ravana and taken to his island kingdom Lanka, setting into motion a dramatic chain of events that culminates in an epoch-defining war. Filled with adventure and spectacle, the Ramayana is also the poignant story of a family caught up in the conflict between personal duty and individual desires. In Bibek Debroy's majestic new translation, the complete and unabridged text of the Critical Edition of this beloved epic can now be relished by a new generation of readers. Review: Now, the Ramayana to read - Over the years I've read a few versions, like Bucks, et al. But I can see this is going to be the definitive version. It has copious notes(not distractingly), an extremely attractive cover for each volume, sturdy slipcase, and extremely meticulous research by Mr. Debroy. How much do I love this set? I've already ordered his 10 volume set of the Mahabharata. This gentleman knows his profession. Review: Jai Siyaram Jai Jai Hanuman - Bibek Debroy's translations are excellent and based in scholarly works. They do not lean heavily on doctrine, but instead focus on the meaning of the text. They are very accessible to laymen and people who are new to the concepts of Hinduism, and are also great for those who are exploring Sanatana Dharma more fully. My only issue with his work is that he consistently, in all his translations, eschews the standard IAST diacritical marks to make the books flow more like novels for English speakers. This creates some slight issue wherein you may not know the stressed part of a name or word, or you may have two people who share the same name, which would normally be differentiated by accent marks. Where this has failed us, Debroy comes in with excellent footnotes that clarify any possible confusions due to this or any other translation choices. I also have his translation of the Mahabharata, I would recommend it, as well, just so you have both epics at your fingertips. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #281,206 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #146 in Sacred Hindu Writings | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 713 Reviews | ## Images ![Valmiki Ramayana - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Zvfd9DQAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Now, the Ramayana to read *by R***A on March 9, 2023* Over the years I've read a few versions, like Bucks, et al.

What a beautiful person he is . I came from a background where I had a bit aversion for Rama. Yet my grand parents used to have him in our puja room long ago.
