Publisher's summary

This story of Lord Rama — the 7th incarnation of Lord Vishnu— i s a wondrous tale of cosmic adventure that immerses the listener in a world of heroes, gods, and demons. At about 50,000 lines, the original Ramayana is one of the largest epic poems in history, as well as one of the world's most important literary and spiritual masterpieces. This translation by William Buck — read by Ram Dass, one of the most revered spiritual writers of the last 50 years — makes the ancient text accessible to the modern Western world, while preserving the richness of the original.

This reading is not accurate to Buck’s translation

This was a waste of money and time as I needed to read this for class and thought an audiobook would be more palatable, but the reader skips lines and doesn’t accurately reflect the story.
