The work is generally regarded as forming a supplementary kanda to the Oriya Ramayana. It contains a metrical account of the battle between Rama and Ravana at an imaginary city called Vilanka, and differs from the account in the Sanskrit epic in that it is written in special glorification of Sita, who, as an apotheosis of the goddess Kali, is represented as the slayer of the demon Ravana. The story appears to be a popular one, as three versions have been printed; one by Sarala Dasa, author of the Oriya Mahabharata, another by Vardnidhi Dasa, and the third by Siddhegvara Dasa. The present work by Balarama Dasa does not appear to have been published. The author states at the conclusion of the poem that he was the son of Bhagirathi Dasa, and his mother’s name was Sriya. No mention is made of him, or of this, or of any of the printed versions of the story, in any of the works on Oriya literature
