In engaging in these acts as a dra amb ka was in violation of class - and caste - based societal norms prescribed exclusively by the ruling and religious elite. R ma the hero of the R m ya a epic is dispatched to kill amb ka whose transgression is said to be the cause of a young Brahmin's death. The gods rejoice upon the dra's death and restore the life of the Brahmin. Subsequent R m ya a poets almost instantly recognized this incident as a blemish on R ma's character and they began problematizing this earliest version of the story. They adjusted and updated the story to suit the expectations of their audiences. The works surveyed in this study include numerous works originating in Hindu Jain Dalit and non - Brahmin communities while spanning the period from amb ka's first appearance in the V lm ki R m ya a through to the present day. The book follows the amb ka episode chronologically across its entire history approximately two millennia to illuminate the social religious legal and artistic connections that span the entire range of the R m ya a's influence and its place throughout various phases of Indian history and social revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Sambuka And The Ramayana Tradition A History Of Motifs And Motives In South Asia\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Sherraden Aaron\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Anthem Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781839984693\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 274 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 8\/1\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Anthem World Epic and Romance\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Literary Studies: Poetry \u0026amp; Poets","brand":"Sherraden Aaron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49625674940721,"sku":"IN-G-9781839984693","price":119.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781839984693.jpg?v=1724946863","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781839984693-sambuka-and-the-ramayana-tradition-a-history-of-motifs-and-motives-in-south-asia","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
