Maha Vishnu

Here are the seven books of the Ramayana:

• Bala Kanda (The Book of Childhood)
• Ayodhya Kanda (The Book of Ayodhya)
• Aranya Kanda (The Book of the Forest)
• Kishkindha Kanda (The Book of Kishkindha)
• Sundara Kanda (The Book of Beauty)
• Yuddha Kanda (The Book of War)
• Uttara Kanda (The Book of the Later Part)

Each book is further divided into chapters. The number of chapters varies from book to book, but there are typically between 50 and 100 chapters per book.
