With the power of yoga, the righteous (Valmiki) saw clearly, like an amalaka fruit in the palm of the hand the entire course of events that happened in the past relating to Rama. [1-3-6]
Highly resplendent Valmiki, having visualised the story (of Rama), with his power of penance, got ready to compose the story of delightful Rama.....-[1-3-7]
-by blending the merits of attainment of worldly prosperity and pleasures together with the detailed description of the merit of righteousness as an end and aim, like an ocean filled with gems, which regales everybody's ears. [1-3-8]
The birth of Rama as an incarnation of Vishnu, his very great valour, his gracefulness to all, his universal cordiality, perseverance, courteousness, and his truthful conduct, Valmiki described them all. [1-3-10]
