Here among the celestials is named Valmiki, the herald of the Ramayana. It is significant that keepers of the sacred word dwell in the celestial halls: one who composes a truthful tale himself enters the company of the immortals. Thus the scripture shows eternal honor for the keepers of tradition; and next come the personified powers of the world.
