According to the Valmiki Samhita, Rama is Svayam Bhagavan whose abode is higher than the highest and who is considered as the origin of Chaturvyuha, namely Vasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna, and Aniruddha.
He created this universe and, with the desire for the welfare of people, Rama imparted the transcendental mantra to Sita, the daughter of King Janaka than She revealed this to the glorious Hanuman, the repository of virtues.
