Valmiki

Valmiki is the author the Hindu holy book Ramayana written in sanskrit. Valmiki is said to be a forest brigand, till the day Narada enlightens him. Valmiki moved by Narada's teachings, renounces his family to perform a penance. Later, Valmiki becomes a highly knowledgeable man and starts scripting the story of Rama.

When Lord Rama throws Sita out of his palace, suspecting that her purity has been destroyed during her forced stay in Lanka, she starts to stay at Valmiki Muni's Ashram. It is here that Luv and Kush were born.
