HOW THE RAMAYANA WAS BORN

The disciple also agreed it was so.

The rishi said, "May it remain so!"

Valmiki then bathed in the river and performed his daily ablutions. On his way back to the ashrama, he kept on thinking  of the incident and its unexpected outcome. Disciple Bharadwaja followed the master, carrying the pitcher of water.

Back at the ashrama, Valmiki went through the daily chores, all the while revolving in his mind the happening of the morning.

As the rishi was thus engaged, God Brahma walked into the ashrama.  Feeling highly honoured by the visit, Valmiki welcomed him in the prescribed manner by washing his feet and offering him milk and fruits.
