Ramayana of Tulsi Das e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In the seventh, or last, Book, the divergence is if anything still more mark ed. It consists with Yalmiki of 124 cantos, the first 49 of which, are occupied by a dialogue between Rama and the Bishi Agastya, who relates the story of Ravan's birth and his conquest of the world. In the 50th canto Rama dis misses his monkey followers to their homes and it is only in this one passage and in occasional references to the glory and happiness of Rama's reign that there is any conoidence with the Hindi 'sequel.' The remainder of the Sanskrit poem relates the exile of Sita and the Asvamedh sacrifice after which Rama and his brothers ascend to heaven. All these topics are totally omitted by Tulsi Das, who substitutes for them the' story of Kaka-bhusnndi and a series of laboured disquisitions on the true nature of Faith.
