CONTRIBUTOR'S NOTE:
The Rāmodanta, an anonymous work of unknown date, is a short poetic rendering of the Rāma epics which was traditionally read by beginners in Sanskrit throughout South India (e.g. in Kerala). The present transliterated edition is mainly based on the text of the following edition in Malayāḷam script:
-- Siddharūpaṃ, Bālaprabodhaṃ, Samāsacakraṃ, vyākhyānavuṃ Śrīrāmodantavuṃ, ed. Si. Vi. Raviśarmma Rājāvu [C.V. Ravisarma Raja], Thrissur: Kerala Sahitya Akademi, 2010 (19481).
According to the kaṭapayādi system of writing the numbers, the last word of the work (cinmayaḥ = 6 5 1) indicates that the original number of verses must have been 156, which is the precise number of verses in the Thrissur edition. Close to the text of this edition is the text (in 153 ślokas only) provided by the following two editions here also used:
-- Śrīrāmodantaṃ (samīkṣā vyākhyānaṃ), ed. Ḍo. Pūvattūr Rāmakṛṣṇa Piḷḷa [Dr. Poovattor Ramakrishna Pillai], Thiruvananthapuram - Kottayam: National Book Stall, 1990 [in Malayāḷam script];
-- K.P.A. Menon, Nine Gems of Sanskrit Literature, vol. 3, Delhi: Nag Publishers, 1996, pp. 150-210 [in Devanāgarī script, with an English translation].
There exists another, rather different, version of the same work, which presents a longer text (due to a single passage of more than 50 additional or variant verses) divided into seven kāṇḍas. According to a quick check of a few available manuscripts of the work, it appears that both the kāṇḍa-division and the rewritten and expanded passage occurring within the 6th kāṇḍa, are recent, possibly made by one of the first editors. This interpolated version of the text is represented by the following popular edition:
-- Śrīrāmodantam | lalitaṭippaṇyādisametam | Sriramodanta: A Simple Sanskrit Poetry Text, with exhaustive-notes, valuable grammatical instructions and model questions, edited with foot-notes by L. Anantarama Sastri, Kalpathi (Palghat): R.S. Vadhyar & Sons, 11nd rev. ed. 1982, repr. 2006 [199 ślokas, in Devanāgarī script].
Two parallel editions in e-book form have been made available on-line, which present the same text as the one of the Palghat edition, viz. represent also the expanded version with the kāṇḍa-division:
-- Śrīrāmodantam | Story of Sri Rama (Sanskrit text and English Translation), E-book published by http://hinduebooks.blogspot.com, July 2010 [in Devanāgarī script];
-- Śrīrāmodantaṃ (arthasahitaṃ), E-book published by http://malayalamebooks.org, July 2010 [in Malayāḷam script].
It was not possible for preparing the present edition to check several earlier listed editions such the ones published at the Venkateswara Sastrulu/Vavilla Press or at the Sri Balamanorama Press, Madras. The double numbering of the verses here used allows to have the numbers of the verses according to both versions (the second one being introduced by the sign *). The additional lines or verses from the secondary version are the indented ones with the * reference only. The verses without the sign * are the ones found only in the first version.
