In Dandaka Forest, they encounter sages who are masters of Jain doctrine. Then, the discovery of Sitäs disappearance sets the stage for war with Ravana.This is the first direct translation into English of the oldest extant Apabhramsha work, accompanied by a corrected text, in the Devanagari script, of Harivallabh C. Bhayani¿s critical edition.…
