    Description

    Seeking the presence of Sri Rama, Sumantra communicates to him the Emperor's command asking Sumantra to bring Rama with him, and departs. Mounting his gold chariot and accompanied by Lakshmana, who holds an umbrella over the former's head and waves a pair of chowries in order to fan him, and followed by a number of elephants and horses, Sri Rama drives in state to see Dasaratha, listening en route to his own glory sung by jubilant men and women.

    This podcast includes an authentic Sanskrit recitation and the reading of a genuine translation in English by Gita Press, Gorakhpur, India. This is not a western translation of the Valmiki Ramayana, nor a re-telling in any form. It is translated by Hindus from within the tradition, and it is thereby recommended as the most authentic recitation and English reading available. The Ramayana recitation by Sriram-ghanapaathi HariSitaramamurti-ghanapathi is taken from archive.org. The reading is from the English version of Srimad Valmiki Ramayan translation by Gita Press, Gorakhpur, India.
