Actually, it’s the only version I’ve read, but it really brings the story alive. It’s by the same author as “The Play of God” As for the TV version, I think it’s just a question of getting used to the… um… style of it (and fast-forwarding through the flash backs from previous episodes…my favorite is Kamala Subramaniam’s version of the Ramayana.

I didn't know Kamala Subramaniam had translated the Ramayana. Can you believe I have had her version of the Mahabharata and Srimad Bhagavatam for nearly ten years and have not even started reading them yet? This is becoming a formidable reading list!

Dutt’s <i>Epic of Rama, Prince of India</i> with said rhyming couplets, and of course the neglected for far too long <i>Musashi</i>. Now I just need to conquer both sleep and procrastination...

I did not realise that all that took place so long ago. If I may 'weigh-in' to the book discussion, my favourite is <a HREF="http://www.indiaclub.com/shop/authorselect.asp?author=Kamala+Subramaniam" REL="nofollow" TITLE="About Kamala Subramaniam">Kamala Subramaniam</a>'s version of the Ramayana. She has also translated the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Mahabarata - beautifully written all of them. Hi Sumangali,

I took the phone in there and then asked about the Ramayana and they showed me a copy which contains rhyming couplets.
