The best commentary on the Rāmāyaṇa is by H. Jacobi, Das Rāmāyaṇa (Bonn, 1893). For the synchronous character of part of the Vishṇu Purāṇa, Harivaṁça, and Bālakāṇḍa of the Rāmāyaṇa compare Lesný in Z.D.M.G. LXVII, pp. 497 f. On the original linguistic form of the epics see Winternitz, Gesch. d. ind. Lit. I, p. 436; Jacobi, Z.D.M.G. XLVIII, p. 407; and Rapson, J.R.A.S., 1904, pp. 435 f. Compare also Lüders on the Ṛishyaçriṅga story, G.G.N., 1897, pp. 87 f.
