Never heard of it, btw -- from what I know, apart from random twists and turns to fit the times that folks narrating it in the oral theatre tradition might take (those aren't actually considered 'versions'), all actual Ramayanas finished being written sometime in the BCs or at the most by 1200 AD.
Thury and Devinney Introduction to Mythology, citing Wendy Doniger. I don’t know that they mean “version” in the usual sense of the word.
Thanks for this!
