Thulsidas Ramayan (Ramacharithamanas written in Hindhi), Kamba ramayanam (Ramakaadhai written in Tamil), and other versions in regional languages are with Valmiki Ramayan as their main source.
Adhyathma Ramayan was Narrated by Shiva to Parvathi. The sacred verses are an extract from the latter portion of the Brahmanda Purana composed by the great Veda Vyasa. The verses are a dialogue between Lord Shankara (another name of Lord Shiva) and goddess and universal mother Parvathi. This pious story was recited to the universal mother Parvathi by the Lord Shankara. This religious book contains the ideal characteristics of Lord Rama, the precept related to devotion, knowledge, dispassion, adoration and good conduct. The main context of the book based on spiritual and metaphysical knowledge. Mere reading of or listening to these verses enables one to attain self-realization.
