About the Book
This publication explores the Buddhist adaptation of the Indian epic Ramayana, known as Phra Lak Phra Lam or the Rama Jataka in Laos. The Laotian text has been meticulously collated from six parallel palm-leaf manuscripts preserved in different Laotian monasteries. The book provides an English translation along with critical studies conducted from a comparative perspective, integrating socio-linguistic and cultural anthropological insights. Essential for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Buddhist literature, it offers a unique window into the transmission and transformation of epic narratives in Southeast Asia.
