Book review
In this Pancharanta volume, we have put together five Amar Chitra Katha titles on the legendary ideal king, Rama. The first one is based on Kalidasa’s ‘Raghuvamsham’ and chronicles the lives of the ‘Ancestors of Rama.’
The second, ‘Dasharatha,’ is based mainly on Valmiki’s famous epic, Ramayana. It is said that the poem could gush out of the compassionate heart of Valmiki because he witnessed the sorrow of a female ‘Krauncha’ bird, when its mate was killed by the merciless arrow of a hunter.
‘Rama’ is based on the Hindi classic ‘Ram-Charit-Manas’ by the great poet Tulsidas. The idea that God fulfills himself in the best of men is conveyed by the life of Rama, as depicted by Tulsidas.
‘Hanuman’, though born a monkey, attained a prominent place among the Hindu Gods, by his sterling character and by his singular devotion to Rama.
‘The Sons of Rama’ is based on Bhavabhuti’s ‘Uttara-Ramacharitam.’
This volume contains the following Amar Chitra Katha Regular Titles:
Ancestors of Rama
Dasharatha
Rama
Hanuman
The Sons of Rama
