Mr. Natesan, who published over & quarter of a
century ago a popular edition of the Bhagavad Gita
and also of the Select Works of Sri Sankaracharya
with the text in Devanagari and an English
translation, has now
Indian classical
literature with another valuable publication quite
unique in character. He has succeeded in the almost
impossible task of presenting a condensed version in
the poet's own words of the immortal Indian epic
Valmiki Ramayana. The story is told by the poet
himself; the passages placed before the reader are
selected passages from the
poem itself. We have
the story of the epic in full together with the
renowned dialogues, the beautiful character sketches
and the many inimitable descriptions.
 
Prof. E. O. Rapson: "It was an ingenious idea to
tell the story of the Ramayana in this simple manner;
and I hope this little book may fulfil its purpose of provid-
ing an easy and pleasant introduction to the original."
