Classics–In Translation–Prakrit
By Sanghadasagani Vacaka. Retold and translated from the original Prakrit by Sudhamahi Regunathan
Vasudevahindi also contains the story of the Ramayana, nestled in a chapter called ‘Madanavega Lamba’, narrated by someone called Dadhimukha who in the Valmiki Ramayana, is a minor monkey whose only role is telling Rama and Sugriva that the monkeys who are returning from the south must have been successful because drunk on honey, they have just destroyed the grove which was under his protection.
