PUBLISHER'S NOTE
T HIS is a companion volume to the
Ramayana published a few months
ago. The credit of bringing this book out
within so short a period is largely due to
Pandit Srinivasachariar who has displayed
much alacrity, discernment and skill in his
difficult task of condensing the mighty epic.
The responsible task of translation was
done by Dr. V. Raghavan with considerable
zeal and promptitude and a scrupulous
anxiety to make the translation faithful
as well as readable.
To my old friend Prof. Radhakrishnan,
ever busy with his great literary and
philosophical pursuits, I am deeply obliged
for the inspiring Foreword.
I have during the last forty years been
responsible for several publications, political,
economic and religious, but I may be
permitted to say that I feel most thankful
that it has been given to me to bring out
these versions of the Ramayana and the
Mahabharata.
6
The great Indian Epics are wrought into
the life of every Indian'. They are indeed
a sacred heritage. I trust the two volumes
will find their way into thousands of homes
as well as schools and colleges.
Nov. 1985.
