Winner of the 2017 World Sanskrit Award, Indian Council for Cultural Relations

The translation admirably succeeds in pursuing its 'twin goals of accuracy and readability.' . . . The volume opens up the epic battle book to new readers and gives them the closest thing they could get to what the original taste and texture of the text must have been, without making it inaccessible. To my mind, this is a remarkable achievement. Specialists will find in the annotations an endless mine of valuable information that will quickly become the foundation of any further research on the Yuddhakanda, and the rich and extremely useful index will facilitate access to this book. . . . A person's education cannot be complete until he or she reads how Rama kills Ravana, as vividly told in this volume. --Yigal Bronner, European Legacy This volume will stand for a very long time as the epitome of studies on the Yuddhakanda, indeed of the Ramayana itself. --Frederick M. Smith, Religious Studies Review Winner of the 2017 World Sanskrit Award, Indian Council for Cultural Relations
