Kamba Ramayanam

Kamba Ramayanam is an ancient Tamil epic written by Kambar, a 13th-century Tamil poet and saint. It is one of the five Tamil epics, along with the Tirukkural, Tirumangai, Tirutharakadigal, and Purananuru.

The Ramayanam is a retelling of the traditional Hindu epic, the Ramayana, which tells the story of Lord Rama's battle against the demon king Ravana. Kamba Ramayanam is unique in that it is written in a style that is both devotional and didactic, with a focus on the moral and spiritual lessons of the story.
