Bilanka Ramayana (Odia - ବିଲଙ୍କା ରାମାୟଣ , pronounced Bilånkā Rāmāyåṇå) , also known as Vilanka Ramayana is a 15th-century retelling of the Indian epic poem, the Ramayana, written by Sarala Dasa in Odia, who dedicates the work to Sāraḷā Chanḍi, the tutelary goddess of Jagatsinghpur in Odisha. The work is generally regarded as forming a supplementary kanda to the Odia Ramayana and is loosely based on the Adbhuta Ramayana, a Shakta version of the Ramayana in Sanskrit.
