Synopsis Ever since the composing of the epic of Valmiki, the story of Rama which had been so popular already in the country in fragments, received a great boost. Indeed the very format of the story was changed from the short folk-tales so commonly available like pebbles and in fragments to continue, well composed and well knit story, earning at the same time the first poetic work in Sanskrit in the country. The message and the teachings of the story appealed to the masses who were attracted more and more about the theme. Soon the poets of the subsequent times also devoted their attention towards the Ramayana theme, which further increased its popularity and the works in the regional languages on the Ramayana were also composed. Of the several such works composed in the regional languages in the country, Sri Ranganatha Ramayana is said to have been composed in Telugu language, in the thirteenth century A.D. The present work is the English translation of the same.
