From the Preface: "It is a matter of great pleasure and honour to go through the English rendering of Sri Ramacharita Manasa, the monumental work of the saint poet Tulashi Das and write a few words in way of foreword to this book. The English translation has been done by an erudite scholar, who was whole-heartedly dedicated to the supreme reality in his thoughts, words and deeds. In fact, no scholar, without having a spiritual bent of mind and sense of commitment to a noble cause, can venture to undertake such a major project of translating a great devotional epic like Ramacharita Manasa and that too in flowery English. It has been made possible by none other than Shri Jayapal Jee, an enlightened soul of high order.

The translation in to English as done by Shri Jayapal Jee is no way less than the original composition. It is wonderful in nature and faithful in character. The language used in translation is easy flowing and appropriate to the core. The style is superb. One can not resist the temptation of reading and enjoying the translated verses of one entire chapter without any pause and that too with much delight because of its lucidity and simplicity. On the whole, this book will be a worth-possessing treasure for all the readers, researchers and especially for the common people of the foreign countries interested to know the significance of Tulsi Das's Ramayana. Because of the several salient features of the book will receive world-wide appreciation and in course of time, everybody will be a proud possessor of it."
