His Holiness Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji, in his kirtan, "Nama mahimayai uraithiduven keleer" (Listen to the Greatness of the Divine Name) sings about Sage Valmiki:

 

"alaindhu thirindhu oruvan

kolai thozilE purindhu

tAraka mandhiram japithAn allavo

nAma balathinAl AdhikAvyam saidhu

nAm ellOrum vanangum munivarum AnAn"

 

"Did not a wayward robber with killing as his profession persistently chant the Rama Nama? Simply due to the power of the Name that he chanted the robber was able to compose the great Ramayana, and was transformed into a revered sage."
