Years later, Narada Muni ventured into the jungle once more. During his journey, he heard a persistent chant of “Rama, Rama” coming from a mound of mud. To his surprise, the voice belonged to Ratnakar himself, and no one else.

Narad compassionately approached the mound, carefully uncovering the soil to rescue Ratnakar. When the soil was finally removed, he addressed Ratnakar by name.

​Narada informed Ratnakar that since he had been reborn from an ant mound, he would now be called “Maharshi Valmiki,” and his wisdom would guide others’ lives. It’s important to note that the place where Maharshi Valmiki and Narada Muni met was named Tapovan
