Description

The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse

[I am compelled to omit Cantos XXXVII and XXXVIII, The Glory of Um, and the Birth of Krtikeya, as both in subject and language offensive to modern taste. They will be found in Schlegel's Latin translation.] [I omit Canto V. which corresponds to chapter XI. in Gorresio's edition. That scholar justly observes: The eleventh chapter, Description of Evening, is certainly the work of the Rhapsodists and an interpolation of later date. The chapter might be omitted without any injury to the action of the poem, and besides the metre, style, conceits and images differ from the general tenour of the poem; and that continual repetition of the same sounds at the end of each hemistich which is not exactly rime, but assonance, reveals the artificial labour of a more recent age. The following sample will probably be enough. [I omit the 28th and 29th Cantos as an unmistakeable interpolation. Instead of advancing the story it goes back to Canto XVII, containing a lamentation of St after Rva has left her, and describes the the auspicious signs sent to cheer her, the throbbing of her left eye, arm, and side. The Canto is found in the Bengal recension. Gorresio translates it. and observes: I think that Chapter XXVIII.The Auspicious Signsis an addition, a later interpolation by the Rhapsodists. It has no bond of connexion either with what precedes or follows it, and may be struck out not only without injury to, but positively to the advantage of the poem. The metre in which this chapter is written differs from that which is generally adopted in the course of the poem.] ......Buy Now (To Read More)
