But most of us are unaware that the story has as many variations as there are versions. In the authors own words Valmikis Ramayana has taken several incarnations due to the efforts of many great writers who wanted to bring the story to their own people in their own language. In his book, Professor AA Manavalan, an eminent scholar in the field of comparative literature, has painstakingly made an intensive and analytical study of the Rama story in 48 languages including the folk tradition. Professor Manavalans main focus is on how the receiving languages rendering could make a greater impact than the original in the popular imagination of the people. Ramayana - A Comparative Study of Ramakathas, an English rendition of Ramakaathaiyum Ramayanangalum, presented by CT Indra and Prema Jagannathan, captures the thematic purpose of Prof AA Manavalans Tamil original and creates a forum to discuss whether Ramayana is an ethical text or an ideological text.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitasta Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877787525318,"sku":"DADAX9386473712","price":10.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/914LHRnKt6L.jpg?v=1779676303","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/ramayana-a-comparative-study-of-ramakathas","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
