Maharshi (great sage) Valmiki is the great poet, who composed the first ever kavya (a grand poem) of the divine Samskrit language. There are differences of opinion about how he came to be known as Valmiki. ‘Valmika’ means an anthill. Valmikat uthitah Valmikih one who arose from an anthill is Valmiki. A sage performed austere penance (tapas), for a long time, sitting in padmasana and meditating on God, caring little for food, water or shelter; then gradually anthill developed around him. At the end of penance, the sage came out of anthill (Valmika) and became known as Valmiki. Some are of the opinion that Valmiki is the son of a sage called valmika, but the first version appears to be more possible. A popular verse says, “God, who is to be known through the vedas, was born as Sri Rama, son of Dasharatha and the veda was delivered as Srimad Ramayana by Praachetasa”; it shows that Valmiki was also known as Praachetasa.
