Very Short Version of Ramayana.

[Padmanabhan.J]

“Aadau Rama Tapovanadi gamanam ,
hathva mrugam kaanchanam
Vaidehi haranam
Jatayu maranam
Sugreeva Sambhashanam,
Vali nirdalanam,
samudra taranam
lanka puri daahanam
Pashchad Ravana Kumbakarna hananam
Yettaddi Ramayanam

Re: Very Short Version of Ramayana.

Dear Sir ,
In my boyhood i have read and memorised this but I have doubt about the first two lines only Vaidhehi haranam onwards ok i am able to recollect but not the first two lines instead i have read something else which i am not able to re collect now how ever I thank you very much for having reminded this

Re: Very Short Version of Ramayana.

Sir
Vaidehi haranam” is changed to “Seethaapaharanam since laypersons can interpret haranam as “killed”
Apaharanam is readily understood by most as referring to ‘kidnapping’
Probably you were taught like this.

However please see this you tube also

Re: Very Short Version of Ramayana.

In fact these are called Eka shlokis, i.e., they condense the entire mythology in a single verse. There are Eka shlokis for Ramayanam, Mahabharatam and Bhagavatam. The correct versions are given below:

Mahabharatam/महाभारतम्/மஹாபாரதம்
आदौ पाण्डव धार्तराष्ट्रजननम् लाक्षागृहे दाहनम् ।
द्यूते श्री हरणम् वने विहरणम् मत्स्यालये वर्तनम् ।
लीलागोग्रहणम् रणे वितरणम् सन्धिक्रियाज्रुम्भणम् ।
भीष्मद्रोण सुयोधनादि मथनम् एतन्महाभारतम् ॥

ஆதௌ பாண்டவதார்த்தராஷ்ட்ரஜனனம் லாக்ஷாக்ருஹே தாஹனம்
த்யூதே ஸ்ரீ ஹரணம் வனே விஹரணம் மத்ஸ்யாலயே வர்த்தனம்
லீலாகோக்ரஹணம் ரணே விதரணம் சந்திக்ரியாஜ்ரும்பணம்
பீஷ்மத்ரோண சுயோதனாதி மதனம் ஏதன்மஹாபாரதம்

Adau pANDava dhArtarAshTra jananam lAkshAgruhE dAhanam

Bhagavatam/भागवतम्/பாகவதம்

आदौ देवकी देवी गर्भ जननम् गोपीगृहे वर्धनम् ।
मायपूतनि जीवितापहरणम् गोवर्धनोद्धारणम् ।
कम्सच्छेदनकौरवादिहननं कुन्तीसुतपालनम् ।
श्रीमद्भागवतम् पुराण कथितं श्रीकृष्ण लीलामृथम् ॥

ஆதௌ தேவகீ தேவீ கர்ப ஜனனம் கோபீக்ருஹே வர்தனம்

ஸ்ரீமத்பாகவதம் புராண கதிதம் ஸ்ரீக்ருஷ்ண லீலாம்ருதம்
