Book Excerpt: 
. . .The empire which is justly thine? Can he, O conqueror of thy foes, Thy strength and mine in war oppose? Can he entrust, in our despite, To Bharat's hand thy royal right? I love this brother with the whole Affection of my faithful soul. Yea Queen, by bow and truth I swear, By sacrifice, and gift, and prayer, If Ráma to the forest goes, Or where the burning furnace glows, First shall my feet the forest tread, The flames shall first surround my head. My might shall chase thy grief and tears, As darkness flies when morn appears. Do thou, dear Queen, and Ráma too Behold what power like mine can do. My aged father I will kill, The vassal of Kaikeyí's will, Old, yet a child, the woman's thrall, Infirm, and base, the scorn of all.” . . . Read More

As part of reading different versions of Ramayana, I have read this book.
This is the best one I have come across till date. The author presents the story devoid of his opinion or biases which is something I liked.
I also liked the way he draws parallels between Valmiki Ramayana and Kamban Ramayana.

This classic translation of the Ramayana is a complete and unabridged verse by verse translation of the great epic poem. This is not the Ramayana in the story format but the translation of the verses in the poetic form. The author reproduces the spirit of the ancient hymns with great flair. The lavi
