Namaste Vidvans,

Can you suggest a reliable Sanskrit-Hindi version for Valmiki Ramayana?
Preferrably one with least mistakes and a high fidelity translation without sampradayic masala.

Many thanks,

Venkat

Dear Venkat ji,

Try the edition of V.Ramayana translated in Hindi by Pandit Shripad Damodar Satwalekar of Swadhyaya Mandal, Pardi,Dist. Valsad, Gujarat.

Satwalekar is known for his voluminous work on Vedas.

Best of luck in your search.

Thank you Sir.

I have contacted them by email. Their shop seems to be run from the US and doesn't have the book.

Regards,

Venkat

Namaste,

Have you tried Geetapress' edition? 

I think except for the interpretation of Bali, everything else is Sampradaya-neutral.

Venkat ji,

In books with vyakyana, authors do add their own spices to make it palatable for their readers.
Instead, if you buy books with tatparya only, you can taste the no-spice version.   

Gita Press Gorakhpur has published such version of Valmiki Ramayana in two volumes. You can purchase each volume separately also for Rs. 300 each.
Total 1637 pages of size  11.0 INCH X 7.5 INCH with hardbound.

In each page, Sanskrit verses are given in one column and Hindi tatparya against each verse in the next column. 

You can order them here:

https://book.gitapress.org/product-style-5/श्रीमद्वाल्मीकीय-रामाय-2/

I read the Sanskrit - Telugu version of the same and really enjoyed it. Apart from the crisp meaning of the slokas, few other features I liked in this book are summary of the whole Ramayana in the first few pages of the book, portrayal of the main characters in the book, and sarga-level detailed table of contents.
