Introduction
About this Manuscript
Adhyātmarāmāyaṇa uttarakāṇḍa is the 7th adhyāya (chapter) of the medieval retelling of the epic Rāmāyaṇa written in the perspective of Vedānta school of Hindu philosophy. This version of the epic inforces the concept of Rāma being an Adhyātma a universal incarnate being. The text is present in dialogue form between supreme deities Śiva (as Maheśa) and Pārvatī (as Umā). In the Uttarakāṇḍa Rāma's wife Sītā is banished from Ayodhyā. After this she gives birth to Luva and Kuśa. The text lacks the final folio hence colophon is incomplete. This Ms. is written in 7–9 lines per folio. Title is present in the colophon (f. 62b). Folio 3 is half torn from the left hand side. There are double red vertical margins on each side of the folio. Mistakes are covered with yellow or blacked out. Some corrections and additions in the margins.
