कथा ४ — रामकथा (p. 397)

• HW 1:
  
  • Listen to Deshpande’s reading of the रामकथा and practice reading with him, following his model pronunciation. Translate the first half of the story and submit it below.

• HW 2:
  
  • Submit your translation—and analyze the sandhi—of the rest of the story. Use our general rules of sandhi here: i.e., write the pre-sandhi word pair (e.g., मुनिस्तम् → मुनिः तम्) and provide the general rule (e.g., ः → homorganic sibilant // -V, if possible). Feel free to number the rules, so you need only number subsequent instances of each (rather than restate the entire rule every time).
