N2  - "Here is a new edition and translation of Murari's Rama Beyond Price. A dramatized remake of the "Ramayana," Rama Beyond Price is one of the most challenging pieces of Sanskrit poetry. Because of its elegant style, learned allusions and often striking imagery, the poem has been a great favorite among pundits, although it received little attention in the West until recently." "Rama's well-known epic exploits are presented as a series of political intrigues and battles, and contrasted with lyrical passages on: love and war, pride and honor, gods and demons, rites and myths, and the regions and cities of ancient India." "This is the first English translation of the only surviving work by Murari, a brahmin court poet, who lived some time between the eighth and tenth century CE, perhaps in Orissa or in neighboring South India."--BOOK JACKET
