- Summary:
- Medieval retelling of the epic story of the Rāmāyaṇa, wherein the hero Rāma is identified with the universal spirit (adhyātma) and is nonviolent; narrative takes the form of a dialogue between the Hindu deities Śiva (as Maheśa) and Pārvatī (as Umā); traditionally ascribed to the legendary author Vyāsa. This last section (kāṇḍa) of the Adhyātmarāmāyaṇa contains a description of the banishment of Sītā; fifth chapter of text, sometimes referred to as the Rāmagītā, is a conversation between Rāma and his brother Lakṣmaṇa. Text lacks the final folio and colophon is incomplete.
