The Rāmcaritamānas
A permanent, verse-by-verse edition. Every chaupāī, dohā, and śloka — with faithful transliteration, original English and Hindi renderings, and a short editorial note on context. No advertisements. No distractions. The original text remains central.
Seven Kāṇḍas. One unbroken text.
The Manas is organised into seven books, from Bāla Kāṇḍa to Uttara Kāṇḍa. This edition is being published in that order.
Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa
The promise recalled. The exile begun. Bharata’s journey to Chitrakūṭa and his return with the sandals.
Araṇya Kāṇḍa
Years among the sages. Pañcavaṭī. Śūrpaṇakhā. The abduction of Sītā and Jaṭāyu’s final flight.
Kiṣkindhā Kāṇḍa
The meeting with Hanumān. The alliance with Sugrīva. The great search southward.
Sundara Kāṇḍa
Hanumān’s crossing of the ocean and his message to Sītā in the Aśoka grove.
Laṅkā Kāṇḍa
The bridge, the war, the fall of Rāvaṇa and the reunion.
Uttara Kāṇḍa
The return to Ayodhyā, the coronation, and the closing dialogue on bhakti between Kāgabhuśuṇḍi and Garuḍa.
Original text at the centre. Everything else, quietly beside it.
The Devanāgarī text is the Rāmcaritamānas of Tulsīdās (16th century), which is unambiguously in the public domain. All English and Hindi renderings on this site are our own — written to convey the meaning faithfully without reproducing the wording of any earlier published translation. Interpretation is kept optional and always separated from the text.
