Ramayana in
sixteen words
(second attempt of translation .My first
attempt is given in http://stotrarathna.blogspot.com/2016/10/ramayana-in-sixteen-words.html )
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
I read this moving
summary of Ramayana in tamil in whatsapp
"பிறந்தார் வளர்ந்தார் கற்றார்
பெற்றார்
மணந்தார்
சிறந்தார்
துறந்தார்
நெகிழ்ந்தார்
இழந்தார்
அலைந்தார்
அழித்தார்
செழித்தார்
துறந்தார்
துவண்டார்
ஆண்டார்
மீண்டார்"
I tried to
translate it again
(all single words
could not be meaningfully
translated by single words in English_
Was born Grew up
Learnt Got
Married Became great Gave up Was moved
Lost
Roamed Destroyed Improved
Gave up Became
sad Ruled Went back
Then I explained the words, so that we can understand the story from there
Was born ito
Dasaratha,
Grew up in Ayodhya
Learnt from
Vasishta
Got special weapons from Viswamithra
Married Sita
Became great due
to love from Ayodhya
Gave up the kingdom
Was moved by love of people , Guha, Bharatha
Lost Sita
Roamed in search of her
Destroyed Lanka
Improved Ayodhya
Gave up sita
Became sad because of it
Ruled Ayodhya
Went back to Vaikunta
(I finished the job again with a feeling of doing a tolerably
better job)
