An Important Interpretation in the Rāma-carita-Mānasa Regarding its Date

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

The verses that give the date of composition of the poem are the 34th and 35th dohās of the Bālakāṇḍa in Rāmadāsa Gaur's edition, and may be translated as follows:—

“Having so removed all doubts,

And having placed on my head the pollen-dust of my master's lotus-feet,

I again pray to all with joined palms

That I may not be blamed as I make this Tale.
