Brahma's visit. How Valmiki, grief-stricken at the death of one of a pair of krauncha birds, begins composing a couplet of great lyrical and metrical beauty, which later led to The Ramayana. Chaturmukha Brahma pays a visit to Valmiki and encourages him to tell the story of Ramayana, as will be revealed to him (Valmiki) by the sage Narada. Brahma says that the theme of The Ramayana will continue to be popular in all the three worlds so long as mountains and rivers will remain on the surface of the earth.
