[Sudeep · Rating 5 out of 5]

ಮೊದಲನೆಯದಾಗಿ ಯಥಾ ಪ್ರಕಾರವಾಗಿ "ವಾಲ್ಮೀಕಿ ರಾಮಾಯಣ"ವನ್ನು ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೆ ಅನುವಾದಿಸಿದ "ಕುವೆಂಪು" ಅವರಿಗೆ ನನ್ನ ನಮನಗಳು. ❤️🙏.

ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ವಿಮರ್ಶೆ ಬರೆಯುವ ಅವಶ್ಯಕತೆ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಶ್ರೀರಾಮನ ಸಿನ್ನಿದಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತು ಅವನ ಭಕ್ತಿ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಇರಲು ಬಯಸುವರು ಸರಳವಾಗಿ ಓದಬಹುದು. ಕುವೆಂಪು ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಮುನ್ನುಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿರುವ ಹಾಗೆ "ರಾಮಾಯಣ" ಚರಿತ್ರೆ ಅಲ್ಲ "ಒಂದು ಕಾವ್ಯ".

ಧನ್ಯೋಸ್ಮಿ 🙏
