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 second section (kāṇḍa) of the Adhyātmarāmāyaṇa, Rāma is exiled to the forest and his father dies. Manuscript is missing the beginning of text.
