Summary

Text from the last section (uttarakāṇḍa) of the Adhyātmarāmāyaṇa, chapter five, a conversation between Rāma and his brother Lakṣmaṇa where Rāma propounds the merits of knowledge over that of action (karma); contains a Sanskrit commentary or gloss (vivṛti) by Mahīdhara, running parallel (above and below) the main Sanskrit text.
