The Ramayana, whole — through the eyes of an acharya

Śrīmad Rāmāyaṇa Sarvasvam

The commentary of Srimad Uttamur Veeraraghavachariar Swamy (1897–1983) on the Saṅkṣepa Rāmāyaṇa — the hundred-and-one ślokas with which Nārada narrates the entire Ramayana to Vālmīki (Bāla Kāṇḍa, Sarga 1). Read through the Viśiṣṭādvaita darśana, and — the contribution of this project — connected to the corresponding verses of Kamban's Tamil Ramayanam.

The whole epic in a single verse

Before the hundred-and-one, Swamy's own eka-śloki — the entire Ramayana distilled into one verse.

The commentary — 101 ślokas in eight parts
