There are two types of poets 1) Sramakavis and 2) aashukavis. The sramakavi takes a lot of effort in composing. The ashukavi effortlessly composes slokas. Kalidasa was an ashukavi. For those great men like Kalidasa when the mind concentrates on a particular thing it takes the form of a poem. If he looks at a mountain for instance he composes on the mountain. If he appreciates the beauty of a sea instantly he composes a sloka on the sea. Or if it is the sun rise he composes on it. Such poems are full of hasya rasa, sringara rasa, and karuna rasa. This was what Wordworth meant in his phrase” poetry is the spontaneous overflow of the powerful feelings of the poet.”
When the hunter hit the krouncha bird instantaneously Valmiki composed a sloka. He is an adikavi, ashukavi and a brahmarishi Brahma requested Valmiki to write the Ramayana. As Valmiki was a Brahmarishi he could see through his gnanadhrishti the Rama charitra which had just then taken place.” Samudramiva Rathnadyam”- Ramayana is like the samudra. The ocean is beautified by the rathnas. Similarly the ocean of Ramayana is beautified by Ramagunarathnas. “Sarvasruthimanoharam”—In this world nobody likes extolling or abusing a third person in front of a huge gathering. But Ramayana steals the heart of one and all and gives eternal bliss when recited before a huge audience.
Thus Sage Valmiki instantly composed 24000slokas as heard from narada through his yogasidhdhi.
