Sunder Kand

Sunderkand è il quinto libro dell'epica indù Ramayana.

It depicts the adventures of Lord Hanuman. The original SundarKand is in Sanskrit and was composed by Valmiki, who was the first to scripturally record the Ramayana. Sundarkand is the only chapter of the Ramayana in which the hero is not Rama, but rather Lord Hanuman. The work depicts the adventures of Hanuman and his selflessness, strength, and devotion to Rama are emphasized in the text. Hanuman was fondly called “Sundara” by his mother Anjani and Sage Valmiki chose this name over others as the Sundara Kanda is about Hanuman's journey to Lanka.
