The book forms the fifth chapter of the Uttarakanda of the well-known Adhyatma Ramayana which gives the spiritual interpretation of the main incidents and personages occurring in the Ramayana. It embodies Rama’s spiritual instruction to his beloved brother Lakshmana and contains the whole of Vedantic doctrine in a nutshell. The treatment is lucid, complete, and practical, and hence, the book becomes a worthy guide to one who is inclined to the Vedantic method of contemplating the Divine Being.
