We know the rāmāyaṇam consists of 24,000 śloka-s within 7 kāṇḍa-s ( a bundle, joint, heap ~ chapter~). Yet talk to us about the 1st letter of each section ( 1,000 x 24 = 24,000) coming from the gāyatrī hymn¹ (mantra). What is the significance? What is vālmīki-ji¹ telling us?

dhíyo yó naḥ pracodáyāt || ṛg-veda 3rd maṇḍala, 62.10 - vālmīki’s birth name was ratnakkardaḥ; the term valmiki means 'ant hill'.
