Summary "Le Râmâyana - tome premier" by Valmiki is an epic poem written in ancient times, likely around the 4th century BC. This foundational text of Indian literature narrates the life and adventures of Lord Rama, focusing on his quest to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana. The opening portion sets the stage for this epic tale, introducing key characters and the historical and cultural context that enriches the narrative. At the start of the text, we are transported to the flourishing kingdom of Koçala, specifically the illustrious city of Ayodhyâ, ruled by the noble King Daçaratha. Despite his prosperity and wisdom, Daçaratha is troubled by his inability to have children, leading him to seek guidance from the sage Vaçishtha about performing a sacred sacrifice to beget heirs. The opening quickly establishes Daçaratha's character and his connection to divine forces, hinting at the blessings to come as he embarks on this spiritual journey, wherein he will eventually father four illustrious sons, including the central hero, Râma.
