VĀLMĪKI
I.
A
hermit
who
was
the
first
among
poets
and
the
author
of
rāmāyaṇa.1
)
General
information.
Knowledge
about
this
hermit
who
was
the
first
among
the
poets
of
bhārata,
is
scanty.
So
we
have
to
depend
mainly
on
some
hearsay
for
the
life
history
of
this
sage.
It
is
said
that
vālmīki
was
the
tenth
son
of
varuṇa.
But
in
his
younger
age
he
fell
into
the
hands
of
wicked
people
and
became
a
wicked
man,
like
his
friends.
Then
his
name
was
not
vālmīki.
Being
a
father,
he
had
to
support
his
family.
For
this
purpose
he
used
to
plunder
travellers.
Once
he
happened
to
catch
the
saptarṣis
(
the
seven
hermits
)
who
passed
by
that
way.
The
hermits
asked
him
whether
his
wife
and
children
would
share
the
sins
he
had
incurred
by
plundering.
The
plunderer
could
not
answer
that
unexpected
question.
He
ran
home
and
asked
his
wife
and
children
if
they
would
share
the
sins
incurred
by
him.
They
were
not
prepared
to
do
so.
In
a
moment
his
life
underwent
a
thorough
change.
He
ran
to
the
saptarṣis
and
knelt
before
them.
They
imparted
to
the
forester,
knowledge
of
the
Vedas.
The
forester
sat
under
a
tree
and
began
to
sing
‘Rāma
rāma.’
Days
and
months
and
years
passed,
unknown
to
him.
He
did
not
know
that
white
ants
had
built
a
shelter
above
him.
After
several
years
the
saptarṣis
returned
by
that
way.
They
broke
the
ant-hill
and
took
the
hermit
out.
Because
he
came
out
of
Valmīka
or
white-ant-hill
he
came
to
be
known
as
vālmīki.
He
built
his
hermitage
on
the
bank
of
the
river
tamasā
and
lived
there
with
his
disciples.
It
was
at
this
place
that
he
composed
the
famous
poem
rāmāyaṇa.
