What reading level is Rma And Homer Microform An Argument That in the Indian Epics Homer Found T book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There he must sit patiently under a tree, like Buddha, " suppressing his breath, " and going through other details of training for years, or, as the Indian books, with Indian exaggeration, put it, for hundreds of years. First there will come to him, he is told, visions of divine 'beings. And then he is promised other powers. He may make himself invisible ; he may rise in the air ; he may be able to swell out to an enormous size or to contract himself indefinitely ; he may read thoughts and tell... the future.
To understand the "Ramayana" all this must be kept in view. To ordinary English 94 RAMA and homer intelligence Valmtki must seem quite silly- when he tells us that an omnipotent and supreme god like Indra could be overturned by another god, Siva — or, worse, by a mere mortal like Ravana — simply because the de- throning being had practised more "austeri- ties, " '' treasures of mortification, " etc.
And the r61e of Brahma in the epic must be equally incomprehensible. If his one object, and the chief object of the heavenly hosts, was to overthrow Ravana, why did he give a spell to him, and pet Indrajit, and give him a title of honour ?
