Ādityahṛdayam (Sanskrit: आददित्यहृदियमम, Sanskrit pronunciation: [aːdd ɪtdjəhṛdd əjəm]), is a devotional

hymn associated with Aditya or the Sun God (Surya) and was recited by the sage Agastya to
Rāma on the battlefield before fighting the demon king Rāvana. This historic hymn starts at the
beginning of the duel between Rāma and Rāvana. Agastya teaches Rāma, who is fatigued after
the long battle with various warriors of Lanka, the procedure of worshiping the Sun God for
strength to defeat the enemy. These verses belong to Yuddha Kānda (Book 6) Canto 105, in the
Rāmāyana as composed by Agastya and compiled by Vālmīki.[1][2]

The text represents Rama as the Brahman (metaphysical reality), mapping all saguna (attributes)
of Rama to the nirguna nature (ultimate unchanging attributeless virtues and ideals).[5]
Adhyatma Ramayana raises every mundane activity of Rama to a spiritual or transcendent level,
the story into symbolism, thus instructing the seeker to view his or her own life through the
symbolic vision for his soul, where the external life is but a metaphor for the eternal journey of
the soul in Advaita terminology.[5]

The book is aimed to be used as a guide and a ready source of instruction for a spiritual seeker,
as it presents the Ramayana as a divine allegory. The text influenced the popular
Ramcharitmanas by Tulsidas.[4][5]

Awadhi is chiefly spoken in the Awadh region in central Uttar Pradesh, and districts such as
Bahraich, Allahabad, Barabanki, Gonda, Faizabad and Lucknow city.[7]

A form of Awadhi is also spoken as a lingua franca for Indians in Fiji. Fiji Hindi is an older
Avadhi/Awadhi dialect that was influenced by other Indian dialects, but retains most
grammatical features of Avadhi/Awadhi. It is spoken by approximately 460,000 people in Fiji and
diaspora of the community in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and Canada.[8]
