The Universe of Rama: Valmiki's Epic Poem
| Title: | The Universe of Rama: Valmiki's Epic Poem | | Author: | Stoler Miller, Barbara | | Publication: | Marg | | Enumeration: | Vol. 45 Issue no. 3; March 1994, p. 15-26 | | Abstract: | The structural unity of the Ramayana attributed to Valmiki is derived from its powerful emotional base. Its poetic ornamentation sustains the mood of the epic. The extant form of the Valmiki Ramayana consists of 24000 verses, and the nucleus of the story dates between 500-300 BCE. Within the narrative universe of the Ramayana, temporal and moral dimensions of heroic action are governed by distinctive conceptions of time and moral order.
