Quotes
[edit]- To place the two Indian epics on a par with Homer or Virgil is to ignore how the Indian poems have been adored and how they have moulded the character and faith of the people.
- Dr. V. Raghavan, quoted in Reclaiming Sanskrit Studies 03) Manjushree Hegde_ (Ed.) Dr. K. S. Kannan - RECLAIMING RĀMĀYAṆA. 3-Infinity Foundation India (2018)
