Of the various Ramayana works which came up after the Valmiki Ramayana, the Adbhut Ramayana happens to be one of them. The work is also attributed to the Sage Valmiki and contains twenty seven cantos as a sequel to the Ramayana and portrays the earlier part of the story, highlighting the real nature of Sita, who also appears in the terrific form having killed that Ravana, who had a thousand heads, whom Rama was unable to kill. This work presents the text of the Adbhut Ramayana in Roman script along with explanation and annotation in Hindi and English. This will help the Hindi and non-Hindi readers knowing English a great deal, especially the foreigners.
