Adiyen prapannnas

My quandry is whether we should treat the Ramayna as a factual historical
document, relating incidents which occured in earthly time, space and
causation or as a literary device for expounding Vedantic Truths.

"Itahasa puranabhyam vedam upabrahmayet" say Pillai Lokacarya in SVB quoting
a well known verse - "the purpose of the Itihasa and Puranas is to expound
the teaching of the Veda".

Any views on this matter?

Adiyen

Sri Rama
