मञ्जुरामायणम् एकम् अवलोकनम्

The work manju rAmayaNam has been written by the 20th century poet Sri Srinidhi swami.

This Manju RAmAyaNa consists of 242 slokas in four parts (kandas) in different vruttas. This work was written by the author for a competition, wherein he had to write the story of rAmayaNa within 250 slokas. By doing so, he won the prize from King of Mysore.

कृतिर्नवीनापि ममातिलघ्वी कृतीश्वराणां नियतं मुदे स्यात् ।
लिखन्ति बालाः कुटिलां हि रेखां तथापि मोदाय पितुर्भवन्ति ।।

kṛtirnavīnāpi mamātilaghvī kṛtīśvarāṇāṁ niyataṁ mude syāt|
likhanti bālāḥ kuṭilāṁ hi rekhāṁ tathāpi modāya piturbhavanti||

My work maybe small and new, yet I am sure it will make the great poets happy, just like how a father feels very happy even when the child writes in a crooked manner.

On a personal note: I too begin my contribution to this blog like a child in the midst of the scholars.
