| dc.description | This essay is based entirely on the Ramayana of Valmiki. I have no wish to offer apology for adding one more book to the vast literature on this priceless epic of ours. I am convinced that a study of the Ramayana is as stimulating and instructive to-day as it was at any other time. I have enjoyed immensely reading the epic and writing about it.

I crave the indulgence of the readers for the defects and deficiencies, considering, among other things, the fact that I have read the epic mainly through translations, though excellent ones, in the Kannada and English languages. 12, Bank House, g L N SIMHA | en_US |

It is an excellent book on statecraft and administration. * So many side stories and anecdotes, which otherwise would not have been relevant to the main theme of the epic, assume significance if their didactic purpose is taken into account. While the significance of particular aspects of the epic may vary from time to time, depending upon the prevailing socio-politico-economic set-up of society, the epic as a whole is of eternal value; its theme is human co | en_US |
