Ramakian

Japanese: ラーマキエン(英語表記)Ramakian
Ramakian
This is the Thai version of the great Indian epic poem Ramayana, which has been widely loved by people in Southeast Asia since ancient times. Ramakien means "the glory of Rama." This story was already known during the Sukhothai period (13th to 15th centuries), and the name of the king was often added to the name of the king. There are versions by King Taksin, Rama I, Rama II, Rama IV, Rama V, and Rama VI, but the most outstanding of these is the one (117 volumes of manuals, about 67,000 lines) that was compiled by Rama I in 1793 with the help of poets and scholars. It is one of the longest masterpieces in the history of classical literature, written in the form of kln verse for a song drama, khon (masked drama).
