Summary: he rhetorical remark of Kippling: “What do they know of England who only England know?” is applicable to the Ramayana ofValmiki. What do they know of the Ramayana who only know Valmiki? The polysemy or radiation of this Adikavya, though it is not as old as the Pali Kavyas, is astonishing. Ramayanam anantakam.Just as the Fable travelled from our country to the land ofthe Grimms and Hans Andersen, the Ramayana spread fromthe banks of the Volga to the Philippines. It travelled in space and it travelled in time from first century B. C. to the present day. It travels still; it has a self-propelling vitality; it renews itself in every age and clime: to adapt Casca’s prophecy https://www.wisdomlib.org/history/compilation/triveni-journal/d/doc71166.html
