Valmiki's Ramayana is dated variously from 500 BCE to 100 BCE or about co-eval with early versions of the Mahabharata.
The Ramayana tells the story of a prince, Rama of the city of Ayodhya in the Kingdom of Kosala, whose wife Sita is abducted by Ravana, the demon-king ( Rakshasa) of Lanka. The Ramayana is composed of about 480,002 words, being a quarter of the length of the full text of the Mahabharata or about four times the length of the Iliad. The Ramayana, originally written by Valmiki, consists of 24,000 shlokas and seven cantos (kaṇḍas). He is revered as Ādi Kavi, the first poet, author of Ramayana, the first epic poem.
The epic Ramayana, dated variously from the 5th century BCE to first century BCE, is attributed to him, based on the attribution in the text itself.
Valmiki ( / v ɑː l ˈ m iː k i/ Sanskrit: वाल्मीकि, Vālmīki ) is celebrated as the harbinger- poet in Sanskrit literature.
