55-488: In Ramayana, Rama abandons his claim to the royal throne and goes on a 14-year exile , in order to fulfill his father's promise.

He reminds him of the fact he said when he came to ayodhya after completing gurukul that.... never give up your pleasures for

110-588: A Vedically moral universe]; and know a nastika to be on a par with a Buddhist. It is an exact state of the case that a mere thought deserves to be punished as it were a thief and know an atheist to be on par with a mere intellectual. Therefore, he is the most suspect, and should be punished in the interest of the people. In no case should a wise man consort with an atheist. (2-109-34) In these and subsequent verses, Rama becomes so angry that he denounces his own father for keeping Jabali as an adviser. He accuses Jabali of being an atheist , and states that those following

165-653: A different metre. The dialogue between Rama and Jabali is finished in the first shloka, in which Rama is not depicted as annoyed. However, the next few shlokas re-open the dialogue abruptly, and the tone of the conversation contradicts the tone of the earlier dialogue. In his translation, Griffith calls these lines "manifestly spurious" and cautions that these need to be "regarded with suspicion". August Wilhelm Schlegel , who translated Ramayana to German (1829), also called these lines fake, and later regretted having included them in his translation. According to Jayantanuja Bandyopadhyaya , Rama's outburst against Jabali in these verses

385-463: A particular pursuit. Article 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile."

In some cases the deposed head of state is allowed to go into exile following a coup or other change of government, allowing

440-429: A political variety, during the 19th and 20th century. Exiled political groups often develop complex media strategies, including diaspora engagement and investigative reporting, to maintain visibility, mobilise support, and address challenges of operating outside their home country.

However, even after listening to the arguments of Jabali and others, Rama refuses to give up his exile and extols the virtues of following the dharma . Valmiki 's Ramayana contains

770-448: A wider range of artistic susceptibility. His unerring linguistic and historical scholarship and the calm objectivity of his judgment enabled him to carry out, even more successfully than Herder himself, Herder's demand that literary criticism should be based on a sympathetic penetration into the specific individuality of each poetic production rather than on the application of preconceived aesthetic standards. Schlegel established models for

825-570: A yearning to return to Jerusalem and the Land of Israel , such as " Next Year in Jerusalem ".

Euripides' Medea has remained the most frequently performed Greek tragedy through the 20th century. After Medea was abandoned by Jason and had become

990-561: Is an example of " Brahmanical counteroffensive against all anti- Vedic ideals and movements". Although Rama appears to identify Jabali's views as Buddhist , Jabali's arguments reflect the Charvaka school of thought.

1100-565: Is unimportant, but as a poetical translator he has rarely been excelled, and in criticism he put into practice the Romantic principle that a critic's first duty is not to judge from the standpoint of superiority, but to understand and to "characterize" a work of art.

Without possessing Lessing's power of style and personality, [Schlegel] commanded

1155-845: Is widely accepted that the Romantic Movement in Germany emerged, on the one hand, as a reaction against the aesthetical ideals defended in Classicism and Neoclassicism , and on the other, as a deviation from the rational principles of the Enlightenment with the consequent regression to the irrational spirit of the Middle Ages .
