This is the view taken of Râma in the Mahâbhârata, the Purâṇas, the Raghuvaṃsa, and those parts of the Râmâyaṇa which go beyond it are probably late additions. But secondly Râma becomes for his worshippers the supreme deity. Yet it was not until the fourteenth or fifteenth century that he became for many sects the central and ultimate divine figure.
