Title: Chanting the Epic: A Deep Structural and Devotional Analysis of Ramayan Sumiran Lyrics in English Transliteration

Abstract The Ramayan Sumiran (literally, "remembrance of the Ramayana") is a condensed liturgical hymn that distills the essence of Valmiki’s and Tulsidas’s epics into a repetitive, melodic invocation. While traditionally sung in Awadhi, Braj, or Sanskrit, its English transliterated lyrics serve a critical function for the global diaspora. This paper argues that the English version is not a mere phonetic crutch but a distinct literary artifact that preserves the akshara (indestructible syllable) count, employs mnemonic alliteration, and facilitates a unique form of bhakti (devotion) where linguistic understanding replaces ritual purity.
