saptarṣi rāmāyaṇam

The whole Ramayana in seven verses, one to each book. The first carries the Bala Kanda from Rama's birth to his return with Sita — Tataka killed, Kaushika's sacrifice guarded, Ahalya made pure again, the bow of Rudra broken, Janaka's daughter taken by the hand, and Bhargava beaten halfway home. The second is the Ayodhya Kanda in four lines: Manthara the pitiless maid, Kaikeyi turned by her, the two boons asked at the very hour of the consecration, and Rama unable to answer for grief. Each of the rest does the same for a book. The closing verse promises long enjoyment and, at the end of it, the station of Vishnu, to whoever reads or hears them daily.
