or Tulas

(1532–1623).
Indian poet and devotee of
R
ma
. He retold the
R
m
ya
a
in Hindi. His
Ramcaritam
nasa
(The Holy Lake of the Deeds of R
ma) is far from being a translation, and remains a profoundly influential spiritual encouragement (sometimes called ‘the Bible of North India’). Later, he wrote
Kavit
vali
poems (of that metre) to R
ma, and
Vinaya-patrik
, the petition to R
ma, and at least seven other works.
