About Valmiki:
\"Valmiki\" (during Lord Rama\'s time) is celebrated as the poet harbinger in Sanskrit literature.
He is the author of the epic Ramayana, based on the attribution in the text of the epic itself.
He is revered as the Adi Kavi, which means First Poet, for he discovered the first sloka i.e. first verse, which set the base and defined the form to Sanskrit poetry.
The Ramayana, originally written by Valmiki, consists of 24,000 verses in seven cantos (some say six i.e. excluding the Uttara Ramayana) (Kandas).
The Ramayana tells the story of a prince, Rama of Ayodhya, whose wife Sita is abducted by the demon (Raakshasa) king of Lanka, Ravana.
The Valmiki Ramayana is dated variously from 500 BC to 100 BC, or about co-eval with early versions of the Mahabharata.
As with many traditional epics, it has gone through a long process of interpolations and redactions, making it impossible to date accurately.
SHORT DESCRIPTION ON Shrimad Valmiki Ramayana - Aranya Kanda:
Rama, Sita and Lakshmana journeyed southward along the banks of river Godavari, where they built cottages and lived off the land.
At the Panchavati forest they are visited by a rakshasa woman, Surpanakha, the sister of Ravana.
She attempts to seduce the brothers and, failing in this, attempts to kill Sita.
Lakshmana stops her by cutting off her nose and ears. Hearing of this, her demon brother, Khara, organizes an attack against the princes. Rama annihilates Khara and his demons.
When news of these events reaches Ravana, he resolves to destroy Rama by capturing Sita with the aid of the rakshasa Maricha.
Maricha, assuming the form of a golden deer, captivates Sita\'s attention.
Entranced by the beauty of the deer, Sita pleads with Rama to capture it.
Rama, aware that this is the play of the demons, is unable to dissuade Sita from her desire and chases the deer into the forest, leaving Sita under Lakshmana\'s guard.
After some time Sita hears Rama calling out to her; afraid for his life she insists that Lakshmana rush to his aid.
Lakshmana tries to assure her that Rama is invincible, and that it is best if he continues to follow Rama\'s orders to protect her.
On the verge of hysterics Sita insists that it is not she but Rama who needs Lakshmana\'s help.
He obeys her wish but stipulates that she is not to leave the cottage or entertain any strangers.
Finally with the coast clear, Ravana appears in the guise of an ascetic requesting Sita\'s hospitality.
Unaware of the devious plan of her guest, Sita is then forcibly carried away by the evil Ravana.
Jatayu, a vulture, tries to rescue Sita, but is mortally wounded. At Lanka, Sita is kept under the heavy guard of rakshasis.
Ravana demands Sita marry him, but Sita, eternally devoted to Rama, refuses.
Rama and Lakshmana learn about Sita\'s abduction from Jatayu, and immediately set out to save her.
During their search, they meet the demon Kabandha and the ascetic Shabari, who direct them towards Sugriva and Hanuman.
