Reading Notes: Ramayana Part C

Image
My Top 3 Readings from Part C from the Public Domain Edition of Ramayana: 1.  The Rainy Season -Sugriva become king -Rama cannot enter the city -The rainy season starts -The king will help Rama find Sita -Rama has a big monolouge   -Sorrow   -He is in distress without Sita   -"Blow back to me her kisses sweet"   -"tortures me incessantly" Overall, Rama cannot fuction without Sita. He has reached a low point in his life. I really enjoyed reading this section of the epic because it makes Rama more relatable. Although he is a prince, Rama is still a man that was in love.  The first verse portion comes from   Ramayana, The Epic of Rama, Prince of India ,  condensed into English verse by Romesh Dutt (1899), and the second verse portion comes from  Relatives  by Arthur William Ryder (1919):  page text .  2. Ramayana: Sampati -Sampati is Jatayu's brother -There is a search for Sita -Sita is not dead -
