This volume amply fulfils that need. Being based on a tried and tested abridged edition in Hindi, namely Manes Mangal, it presents the gist of the original Ramcharimanas.
The success of The Sprit of Ramcharitmanas lies in the prudent pruning of the original in a manner that retains the flavour of the original and keeps intact the moral, ethical, literary and aesthetic content of Manas which lend it the semblance of a scripture.
