Scholar commentary
valmikiramayan.net Prose Commentary
Desiraju Hanumanta Rao's prose rendering with embedded explanatory notes
The source glosses the name Rishyasringa itself as a birth-description, repeating the etymology given earlier in Sumantra's account: he was born with a horn (shR^i~Nga) on the crown of his head, giving the sage (R^iSi) his name.
