    Description

    Apprised of Sri Rama's arrival by Sumantra, Dasharatha commands him to usher in Sri Rama with his consort. Seeing the Emperor fall unconscious at the very sight of the heir-apparent, the ladies of the royal household start wailing piteously. On Sri Rama's soliciting his permission to retire to the woods, the king enjoins him to take his father captive and ascend the throne. Sri Rama in his turn consoles his father by assuring him that he has no hankering for royal fortune and that to him obedience to his father's command is of utmost importance. Dasharatha, however, falls unconscious again at the very thought of his separation from Sri Rama and Sumantra as well as all the ladies of the gynaeceum follow suit.

    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.
