So he set out to find Hanuman. In Kadali-vana, grove of plantains, he found Ramayana inscribed on seven broad leaves of a banana tree. He read it and found it to be perfect. The most exquisite choice of grammar and vocabulary, metre and melody. He couldn&#8217;t help himself. He started to cry. &#8216;Is it so bad?&#8217; asked Hanuman &#8216;No, it is so good&#8217;, said Valmiki &#8216;Then why are you crying?&#8217; asked Hanuman. &#8216;Because after reading your Ramayana no one will read my Ramayana,&#8217; replied Valmiki.

He had not used the work to liberate himself from the fear of invalidation. He had not appreciated the essence of Ram&#8217;s tale to unknot his mind. His Ramayana was a product of ambition; but Hanuman&#8217;s Ramayana was a product of affection. That&#8217;s why Hanuman&#8217;s Ramayana sounded so much better.
