16世紀にトゥルスィーダースが詠った叙事詩『ラーマの行いの湖』で天から降る花 ─誰がどのようなときに誰に花を降らせたのか─ 共同研究〈諸言語圏・諸文化圏における「花」〉

In Rāmcaritmānas created by Tulsīdās in the 16th century in Awadhi dialect of Hindi language, we often come across the cases in which flowers were fallen from the heaven by the gods or godly persons. Representative cases will be cited in this paper from the text of Rāmcaritmānas published by Gītā Press in 1961.Most of the flowers were blossomed and fallen by the gods or godly persons to celebrate the people who worked marvelously. One case is cited below from the scene in which Rāma came home happily after a long stay in a wood（ VII-8 kha）:The flowers were falling to celebrate home coming of Rāma,People of the capital were happy to watch him going to his castle.But the text gives no description of the flowers falling or gods who caused to fall them. The reasons may be that the Hindus can imagine the flowers and gods without minute description of them
