The encounter with Ravana sister seems to be the same except in the other version she seems to try harder
As with the first version Rama kills all of Kara’s army, but in this version he cuts off Ravana’s sisters ear
The story of Ravana kidnapping sita seems pretty much the same, though the golden deer in this story differs because the deer feels it to be an honor and I did not get that impression from the last version
Does Ravana actually touch Sita in this version, I know in the last version he could not touch a woman with out her consent or else he will die, but it appears in this version that curse is not present.
The Hansel and Gretel type of trail in this version is more profound, and the monkey’s seemed to be as described as actual monkeys and not a hybrid as in the other version
The story of Vali and his brother is the same in this story
Vali’s wife seems to be more concerned about his battle in this story
In the last version, when Rama killed Vali it seemed almost cowardly and the author seemed to explain that away so that Rama could keep his virtue intact but in this version it just seems like an assassination and the last version did a better job describing the battle between Vali and his brother in this version I’m not even sure if there was a battle
Ravana so far is playing a bigger role in this story than he did in the previous version, he could almost be as big of a figure in this story as Rama.
