The authorship of it is ascribed to Vyāsa, but it is generally considered to be a part of the Brahmānda Purāna. It is a sort of spiritualised version of the poem, in which Rāma is depicted as a saviour and deliverer, as a god rather than a man. It is divided into seven books, which bear the same names as those of the original poem, but it is not so long. - [Previous: c5.1481](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1481) - [Next: c5.1483](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1483) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5) ## Linked texts (2) - [Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.brahmanda) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Adhyātmarāmāyaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.ramayana.upajivya.adhyatma) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1482](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1482) · Pramāṇa
