In 1963, Valmiki, a Kannada movie, was made, starring Dr Rajkumar. He saw a hunter with a bow and arrows, nearby. He looked around to find out who had shot the bird. Valmiki's heart melted at this pitiful sight. Filled by sorrow, its mate screamed in agony and died of shock. Suddenly, hit by an arrow, the male bird died on the spot. Valmiki felt very pleased on seeing the happy birds. Looking at the stream, Valmiki said to his disciple, 'Look, how clear is this water, like the mind of a good man! I will bathe here today.' When he was looking for a suitable place to step into the stream, he saw a crane couple mating. On the way, they came across the Tamasa Stream. A disciple by the name Bharadwaja was carrying his clothes. Valmiki was going to the river Ganges for his daily ablutions. Kusha and Lava sang the story of Rama there and Rama confirmed that whatever had been sung by these two children was entirely true. Later, he summoned them to his royal palace.
Valmiki taught Ramayana to Kusha and Lava, who later sang the divine story in Ayodhya during the Ashwamedha yajna congregation, to the pleasure of the audience, whereupon, King Rama questioned who they were and later visited Valmiki's hermitage to confirm if Sita, the two children claimed as their mother was in fact his wife in exile. Kusha and Lava, the twin sons of Shri Rama were born to Sita in this hermitage. Valmiki gave shelter to Sita in his hermitage when Rama banished her. Menen claims Valmiki is, 'the first author in all history to bring himself into his own composition.' Rama met Valmiki during his period of exile and interacted with him.
Valmiki is also quoted to be the contemporary of Rama. British satirist Aubrey Menen says that Valmiki was, 'recognized as a literary genius,' and thus was considered, 'an outlaw,' presumably because of his, 'philosophic scepticism,' as part of an 'Indian Enlightenment' period.
