@Sanju not complete Ramayan. It was a short book say of some 50-55 pages on Ramayana through the eyes of Urmila.
It was a poignant book, only thing is that I don't know who wrote it as I am searching for it now as my book I got it from a senior ( as was the practice in those days), then gave to a junior and it changed hands.
If you look there wont be a girl in Kerala in my age group say early thirties to late thirties who studied in state syllabus and has not been affected by Urmila, her pain. My so many OS in SKR forum stem from that book.
Also the poets in Malayalam wrote a lot about Rama and Krishna. And we studied excerpts from those poems for our Malayalam 1st paper.
I have studied excerpts from Ezhthuthachan's Killipattu Ramayanam where Ram talking Lakshman on why he should go forest, and also Ram's pain when Sita is abducted. Those lines are all very beautiful where Ram sees Sita in every tree, bush, and flower. People are telling no romance in SKR. They should be given those poetic lines 😆😆
Cherusseri's Krishnagadha and the lines the gopi's tell when Krishna is taken to Mathura " Nanmulla thanude thenuda karvandu nammula theendmo narimare" ( Translation : The bawra which was tasted the honey of fresh jasmine, will it touch withering jasmine. Double meaning when Krishna sees the beautiful ladies of Mathura will he remember us ). I used to analyze those lines in paragraph for exams and all.
Then there is poetry of Vyloppally where the lady Anasooya asks her about her swayamvara and Sita says when Raghuveer lifted the dhanush she felt like a peacock that saw the rain. The poetry which gives beautiful lines when Sita looks at Ram when he enters Mithila standing atop the Palace terrace and all is very very beautiful
