New York University Press

The fifth and most popular book of the Ram\u00E1yana of Valm\u00EDki, S\u00FAndara recounts the adventures of the monkey hero H\u00E1numan leaping across the ocean to the island citadel of Lanka. Once there, he scours the city for the abducted Princess Sita. The poet vividly describes the opulence of the court of the demon king, R\u00E1vana, the beauty of his harem, and the hideous deformity of Sita's wardresses. After witnessing Sita's stern rejection of R\u00E1vana's blandishments, H\u00E1numan reveals himself to the princess, shows her Rama's signet ring as proof of identity, and offers to carry her back to Rama.\n Co-published by New York University Press and the JJC Foundation\n For more on this title and other titles in the Clay Sanskrit series, please visit https://www.claysanskritlibrary.org\n\nRamayana Book Five\nSundara\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the price adver;
