The Epic of Ram presents a new translation of the Rāmcaritmānas of Tulsidas, 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, revered and recited by millions of Hindus today. It is also a magisterial compendium of philosophy and lore, and a literary masterpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe seventh volume completes Tulsidas' grand epic. Ram reunites with his family in Ayodhya and assumes the throne, beginning his long, utopian reign. He also delivers ethical and spiritual teachings to his brothers and subjects. Then, a fascinating narrator—an immortal sage embodied in a lowly crow—reflects on Rams' life story while recounting how he acquired wisdom, despite setbacks, on his own mystical and devotional quest across eons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 462g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 x 211 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780674271241\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tulsidas","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44126062412026,"sku":"9780674271241","price":24.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1679469498046_book_1d79b3eb-cf7c-4f13-a9b8-35bf8652194c.jpg?v=1679772678","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-epic-of-ram-9780674271241","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
