No Lip Touching

Of the 300 versions of Ramayana, Niroshta Ramayana,  is an interesting piece. When one reads it or recites it the lips won’t touch or close together. No labial letters are used. People believe human saliva or spit is unclean, particularly when they do religious rituals. So they wanted to say Rama’s name without spit/saliva polluting it.
