आजगाम ततो ब्रह्म लोककर्ता स्वयं प्रभुः | चतुर्मुखो महातेजा द्रष्टुं तं मुनिपुङ्गवम् || १-२-२३

sanskrit

Then, the great resplendent Four-faced creator of fourteen worlds, almighty Brahma, arrived there on his own, to see that eminent saint Valmiki. [1-2-23] (The deities do not usually arrive on their own, but reveal themselves after a great penance, or on raising hue and cry as is done by demon devotees. Here Brahma, one among the Trinity of Hindu mythology, arrives on his own, to execute a divine deed through Valmiki, i.e. authoring the epic, Ramayana.)
