Sarg 3 - Vaalmeeki Jee Writes Raam's Story

Then Vaalmeeki Jee researched Shree Raam's life  history and sat down on a Kush Aasan with concentrated mind. With the blessings of Brahmaa Jee Vaalmeeki Jee knew everything about Him. Then he started writing it. In this book he has described Arth and Kaam, but Dharm has been given more importance. It has seven Kaand (parts), 500 Sarg (chapters), and 24,000 Shlok.

Sarg 4 - Vaalmeeki Jee Teaches it to Two Children

Vaalmeeki Jee was sitting on his Aasan that two princes came and greeted him touching his feet. Muni found them intelligent and knowers of Ved, so he kept them with him to spread Ved. Since this poetry could be recited, those two children, Lav and Kush, started singing it. Both princes were good at music. They crammed the whole poetry and used to sing it. By the permission of Vaalmeeki Jee this story was made public and Lav and Kush started singing it among groups of Muni. Many Muni rewarded them many things for their singing.

One day Raam saw those boys in the way, so He brought them to His palace. he asked His brothers Bharat and Shatrughn also to listen to this epic and then He asked the children to sing it. All people in the Royal court sat mesmerized hearing their singing. Shree Raam thought that they were Muni's sons but how come that they looked like princes. Their work should be good for me too. then all started listening to it.
