| Summary | "The Rāmāyana, Volume 3. Yuddhakāndam" by Valmiki is an ancient epic narrative possibly composed in the early centuries of AD, renowned for its profound narrative style and rich moral discourse. This volume, which focuses on the Yuddhakāndam or "Book of War," details the intense conflict between Lord Rāma and the demon king Rāvana over the abduction of Sita, Rāma's wife. Central characters include Rāma, the heroic prince, his loyal brother Lakshmana, and the valiant monkey-god Hanumān, whose strength and devotion play pivotal roles in the unfolding saga. At the start of this volume, Rāma expresses his deep admiration for Hanumān after hearing about his audacious mission to locate Sita in the demon city of Lankā. Despite the news of Sita's whereabouts uplifting his spirits, Rāma is weighed down by the daunting task of crossing the vast ocean to rescue her. In the ensuing dialogue, Sugriva encourages Rāma to initiate a plan to build a bridge to Lankā, outlining the formidable defenses of the city. The chapter reveals the characters' strategic discussions and emotions, particularly Rāma's anguish for Sita and the preparations for the impending battle, setting the stage for a monumental showdown between good and evil.
