Bhavabhuti’s Uttararamacaritam

This book is about the later history of Rama which starts with his coronation after returning from Lanka.  The book is divided in seven parts.  Every part tells a story such as how people commence talking recklessly of Sita with reference to her stay in Lanka.  How Rama commences Asvamedha sacrifice, how the sacrificial horse wanders into Valmiki’s hermitage and is seized by Lava, how Laksmana’s son, Candraketu, meets Lava, and their battle, how Rama notices the battle from Puspaka, and how Valmiki comes to the rescue of the bewildered monarch.  In short, the book explains every sloka with English translation and explanatory notes, thus making the book very interesting to read.
