It relates many, but far from all, of the incidents celebrated in the Rāmāyaṇa; it makes no mention of Vālmīki, the author of that poem, and it represents Rāma as a human being and a great hero, but not a deity. - [Previous: c5.1497](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1497) - [Next: c5.1499](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1499) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5) ## Linked texts (3) - [Mahābhārata](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit - [Vālmīkirāmāyaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.ramayana.valmiki) — Vālmīki, Sanskrit - [Rāmopākhyāna](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.ramayana.ramopakhyana) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1498](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.1498) · Pramāṇa
