Maharishi Valmiki is revered as the first author and poet of Ramayana, which is dated back to 5th century BC. Valmiki, also known as Adi Kavi, was born as Agni Sharma. According to legend, he once met the great sage Narada and had a discourse with him on his duties. This conversation moved Valmiki to chant 'mara' (kill). After performing his penance for several years, the word 'mara' became Rama, the name of Lord Vishnu. During this penance, huge ant hills formed around him and earned him the name Valmiki. Valmiki Jayanti 2019 Date: Know History, Significance and Celebrations of Pragat Diwas.
