The Rāmāyana, Volume 2. Āranya, Kishkindhā, and Sundara Kāndam

Chapter 1: Transcriber's Note This book was transcribed from scans of several different copies of the original found at the Internet Archive. The typesetters of the original book represented the letter ā (with a macron above) as â (with circumflex above) when italicized, but this etext uses the macron throughout. Words in italics in this etext were italicized in the original book. I have corrected obvious misspellings but I've left variant spellings alone. Some words and names, like yojana and Garuda, were spelled two different ways in the same text. I have spelled them consistently to avoid confusion.

About This Book

The narrative follows an exiled prince, his devoted wife, and his faithful brother as they take refuge in an expansive sacred forest and encounter ascetics, wild creatures, and hostile rakshasas. It recounts perilous episodes in the woods, including the abduction of the wife and violent confrontations with demonic foes. The action then moves to the politics and exploits of a simian realm, where the prince forges an alliance with an exiled monkey leader and marshals aid. A bold emissary undertakes a daring reconnaissance that locates the captive and performs extraordinary feats on the way. The volume closes with preparations for a large-scale campaign to rescue the captive and restore righteous order, exploring duty, loyalty, and devotion.
