The Ramayana is an epic poem written by the Indian sage Valmiki, which tells the story of Rama, a prince who is exiled from his kingdom and embarks on a journey to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. Romesh C. Dutt's translation of the Ramayana is a classic English version that has been widely read and admired for over a century. Dutt's translation captures the beauty and power of Valmiki's original poem, while making it accessible to a modern English-speaking audience. The book is divided into seven books, each of which tells a different part of the story. It is a timeless tale of love, courage, and the triumph of good over evil, and is considered one of the greatest works of Indian literature.And my evil fates are vanquished and my race is sanctified, With the warlike race of Raghu thus in loving bonds allied, Sacrifice and rites auspicious we ordain with rising sun, Ere the evening's darkness closes, happy nuptials shall be done!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
