:) I love it! Reading it and 'unpacking' the complex meanings deftly placed inside one compound word is a pleasure everytime!

This a poetic translation of Raghuvamsha. To be used by Sanskrit students some paraphrasing will be necessary. Further the current Sanskrit examinations ask for word by word meanings and summary. We need to find a way to use this book.

wonderful rbsi definetly a masterpiece. i will read it
