- Summary:
- Medieval retelling of the epic story of the Rāmāyaṇa, wherein the hero Rāma is identified with the universal spirit (adhyātma) and is nonviolent; narrative takes the form of a dialogue between the Hindu deities Śiva (as Maheśa) and Pārvatī (as Umā); traditionally ascribed to the legendary author Vyāsa. In this sixth section (kāṇḍa) of the Adhyātmarāmāyaṇa the text describes the march of Rāma to the island of Laṅkā with the monkey army and references pilgrimage sites such as Rāmeśvara and Setubandha.
