Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hi list. Since we're on the subject of a possible tsunami in the Ramayana, I thought I would mention this that I happen just now to have come across in reading the online devanagari Ramayana. The last verse of Yuddhakanda 84, that is, verse 33, has this as its second hemistich: balaM samastaM kapiraakSasaanaamunmattagaGgaapratimaM babhuuva|| It's sunday and the library is closed, so I have nothing with me but this online text. So I wonder if this may not be a reading for what would seem to me to be the more natural and conventional unmattagajapratimaM. Or might gaja aapratimaM be possible, so that the long aa would be right? In any case it seems remarkable to me that the Ganga might be described as unmatta.
