Valmiki Ramayana, as we all know, consists of about 24000 verses. This is written in Sanskrit by Sage Valmiki. There is another scholar, who has composed in just 200 verses in Sanskrit, the seven chapters of the Ramayana that was written by sage Valmiki. This is known as Sri Ramodantam. In Sri Ramodantam, the author has presented the entire Ramayana in a very simple format. Just like the Valmiki Ramayana, it has seven chapters called as Kandas starting from Bala Kanda and ending with Uttara Kanda.
