Compared to the western epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata are more complete story of Hindu, religious, cultural and social imagination and more exact narration of evolutionary rise of man. In this book, William Buck has succeeded better than anyone else in conveying the spirit of the original.The task of presenting a faithful image of the original text, its metaphysical nuances as well as its chronological sequence the world`s largest epic in a small book is a stupendous task.Mainly as a narration, the version of William Buck will serve as an interesting and complete tale to the English speaking reader. Valmiki was called the Adikavi or first poet of Sanskrit literature and some of his remarkable talent shines forth in the English rendering. The reader will find pleasure in reading it aloud to himself or the others.

Сторінка xiii - Ramayana — one of the two great epics of India, the other being the Mahabharata.
Сторінка 19 - Majesty, we are living in the second age of the world, and the quarter part of Virtue has now died among men. These are faded days and Dharma declines. In the first age food came by wishing and grew from Earth without tending.
Сторінка 5 - ... destruction at the end of the Kali Yuga destroys the world. Then a new Golden Age starts again. Auspiciously, we are at the end of a Kali Yuga. Interestingly, the Ramayana's time line fits in well with the occurrence of cataclysmic changes and civilizations outlined by the Lemurian Fellowship. Says the Ramayana. "We live now in the third age of Time, and Rama lived in the second age of the world.
Сторінка 122 - I see two birds in the same branch — one eats the sweet fruit, one looks on sadly. The first bird wonders: in what prison does he live? The second marvels: how can he rejoice?
Сторінка 227 - He flew inland, over stacks of gold and silver from the demon mines that lay blazing in the sunlight, and then he saw the City. Beautiful Lanka was built on a level place just below the highest summit of the three-peaked hill Trikuta, as though built on clouds. She had four gates facing in the four directions and her strong golden walls were the color of sunshine.
Сторінка 133 - We may be the playthings of Fate. We cannot breathe without taking life. As we talk here, we are ourselves the cause of the deaths of countless little lives. We have surely let old bodies go many times, as though changing from old clothes into new ones. We...
Сторінка 79 - You may take him. You are Sumantra the best charioteer, the best driver ever born in all this world, this world where there is but one right road, where the directions and the ways are hard to see, hard to find, hard to remember.
Сторінка 220 - We went over wood and forest, streams and kingdoms, and higher, and over clouded lakes where snow-geese swam, and over hills of grey stone, and always higher, until we went so high, we saw the Sun shining near and large as the Earth!
