  fifty-one times in the Persian language. One of the versions\, admired in
  its time for its metaphors\, is Mullā Masīḥ Pānīpati’s Dāstān
 -i Rām o Sitā\, completed in the 1600s and dedicated to the Mughal Emper
 or Jahangir. It is a masnavī or poem in end-rhymed couplets that traces\
 , in 132 chapters\, the main plotline of Vālmīki’s Rāmāyaṇa.\n\n
 Join us for an illustrated talk by Prashant Keshavmurthy\, an associate pr
 ofessor of Persian-Iranian Studies in the Institute of Islamic Studies\, M

 the text portrays Rama as a prophet prefiguring prophet Muhammad. The talk
  will compare passages from Masīḥ's Persian version with those from Vā
 lmīki\, and incorporate Mughal paintings from various Persian Rāmāyaṇ
 as.
