Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa inspired the stories in this collection to answer questions such as these:

What would Rāma have thought about a monument to mark his janmabhūmi?
Why did Rāma tell Bharata that the kingdom was Kaikeyī's bride-price?
How did Hanumat get the idea that Rāvaṇa never abducted any unwilling or married woman before Sītā?
Why did the luminous herbs disappear when Hanumat came for them?
At what age were Rāma and Sītā exiled?
Did Hanumat witness Dhānyamālinī or Mandodarī distracting Rāvaṇa from Sītā?
How could Mahodara and Mahāpārśva return to battle after they were slain?

The title is Saṃskṛta and means "Recognize Ayodhyā In The Wilderness," which was part of Sumitrā's advice to Lakṣmaṇa in Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa.

The first six chapters are Drabbles of exactly 100 words, and the next eight chapters are Microtales of 15 words. Each story is based on Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa, and supported with citations from the text.
