Sita’s Voice in the Assamese Ramaya?a is a translation of select verses from the Assamese Saptaka??a Ramaya?a of Madhava Kandali, Sa?karadeva and Madhavdeva, written between the 14th-15th centuries CE. This vernacular rendition of the Valmiki Ramaya?a has been translated with a scholarly introduction by Tilottoma Misra. The selected verses represent a distinctive creative rendition of the Valmiki text from the region of Assam by adding new emotional and philosophic dimensions to it. Especially in the Uttaraka??a ascribed to Sa?karadeva, Sita’s voice acquires a unique quality in her final rejection of Rama thereby expressing her ultimate disillusionment with him, the much-acclaimed paragon of all virtues.
