             The  first,  hand-written,  manuscript  for  this  book  was
          drafted by Pūrṇaprajña Dāsa, based on a translation of the
          original Rāmāyaṇa by Vālmīki. It was typed in and renovated
          by  Tīrtha  Dāsa.  Further  editing  was  done  by  Kṛṣṇa  Kīrti
          Dāsa  and  Jagat  Puruṣa  Dāsa.  Final  editing,  proofreading
          and  overhauling  was  done  by  Bhakti  Vikāsa  Swami,  who
          oversaw the project to bring out this edition of Rāmāyaṇa.
          Citrakara Dāsa painted the pictures. Kṛṣṇa Kīrti Dāsa did the
          layout, and Vijaya Govinda Dāsa did the cover design and
          supervised the printing.

             For the revised edition, Bharata Dāsa did the layout and
          oversaw the printing, Jagadīsa Dāsa provided new drawings
          and designed the cover. Jaya Dāmodara Dāsa and Gaṅgādevī
          Dāsī were proofreaders.
