    Description

    Consoling Kausalya in her grief over the impending exile of Sri Rama, Prince Lakshmana opposes the idea of Sri Rama's leaving for the forest and, censuring Dasharatha, makes up his mind to accompany his eldest brother. Kausalya too deters Sri Rama from going into exile, branding Kaikeyi's command as unjust. Sri Rama, however, justifies the command on the ground of its being countenanced by the Emperor and requests his mother to grant him leave and perform auspicious rites connected with his departure.

    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.
