A CRITICAL STUDY OF PAUMACAR陌YA峁�
influence). 4. S墨t膩's betrothal with R膩ma, N膩rada's intervention and
introduction of the Bow (P膩t膩la; Supra, ch. 3.2.C & D). 5 Failure of
others and Rama's success in stringing the bow (P膩t膩la kha峁囜笉a;
Supra, ch. 3. 2. E). 6. Performing of a sacrifice by R膩vana to acquire
invincibility and its disturbance (Uttarakhanda; Supra, Ch. 3.8 G).
7. Battle of Lava and Ku艣a (P膩t膩lakha峁囜笉a; Supra, ch. 3.9. D).
Striking similarity of the Padmapur膩峁嘺 with Ravi峁�ena's
Padmacaritam as regards points Nos. 1 & 3 indicate that the author had
consulted Ravisena's work.
(xvii) Adhy膩tma R膩m膩ya峁嘺 of the R膩m膩nanda sect (14th cent.
A.D.): 1. Episode of war-chariot and granting of boons to Kaikey墨
(Supra, Ch. 3. 3. 1. B. 2. Christening the name of Lak峁�ma峁嘺 (Supra,
Ch. 3. 1. D). 3. R膩ma's success among various candidates in stringing
the bow (Supra, Ch. 3. 2. E). 4. Exonerating Kaikey墨 from the
charge of cruelty by introducing R膩ma's decision to go in exile rather
than accepting kingship, at the advice of Narada (Supra, Ch. 3. 3. B):
repentance by Kaikey墨 for her folly of exiling R膩ma and her request
to R膩ma on the Citrak奴ta hill to pardon her (Supra, Gh. 3. 3. C).
5. Vir膩dha is a Vidy膩hara and not a Gandharva as in the VR
(Supra, Ch. 3. 5. C). 6. Hanuman's request to S墨t膩 to carry her on his
shoulders (Supra, Ch. 3. 7. E, fn. 3). 7. Raising of his sword by
R膩vana while kicking and exiling Vibh墨峁�a峁嘺 (Supra, Ch. 3. 8B). 8.
Automatic fleeing away of the Sakti by which Lak峁�ma峁嘺 was wounded
(Supra, Ch. 3. 8E). 9. Disturbing of R膩va峁嘺's sacrifice and dragging
of Mandodari (Supra, Ch. 3. 8. G).
For the first time so much influence of the tradition of the PCV on
a Brahmanical work like the Adhyatma R膩m膩ya峁嘺 is seen. Elements No.
1 and 3 & 9 had already become popular with the earlier Brahmanical
works. The striking similarities in such minor points as Nos. 2, 5, 6, 7
& 8 reveal that the author of Adhy膩tma R膩m膩ya峁嘺 had studied well some
of the Jaina works on Rama-story. It is possible that the Sanskrit
works of Ravi峁�e峁嘺 and Hemacandra might have been consulted. But the
resemblance in the point No. 2 exceptionally reveals as if the PCV was
before the author of Adhyatma R膩m膩ya峁嘺.
(xviii) Ananda R膩m膩ya峁嘺 (15th century A.D.): -1. Kausaly膩's
father's name as Ko艣ala (Supra, Ch. 3.1. A). 2. R膩vana's vain efforts
in foiling the marriage of Da艣aratha and Kausaly膩, and in killing
Dasaratha to escape his own death destined at the hands of the former's
son (Supra, Ch. 3. 1.B). 3. Episode of war-chariot as the cause of
granting boon to Kaikey墨 (Supra, Ch. 3. 1.B). 4. Janaka's wife
(Sumedh膩) introduced specifically for the first time (Supra, Ch. 3.2.A).
