आदौ रामतपोवनादिगमनं हत्वा मृगं काञ्चनम्
वैदेहीहरणं जटायुमरणम् सुग्रीवसंभाषणम् |
वालीनिर्दलनं समुद्रतरणं लङ्कापुरीदाहनम्
पश्चाद्रावणकुम्भकर्णहननं एतद्धिरामायणम् |
इति श्रीरामायणसूत्र ||
In the beginning, starting with Rama’s forest-exile,
killing of the golden deer, abduction of Sita Devi,
death of Jataayu, friendship with Sugriiva, killing of
Vaali, crossing of the ocean, burning of Lankaa and after that killing of RavaNa and KumbhakarNa – this is the story (aphorism) of Ramayana. These are the main incidences of Ramayana.
