Valmiki Ramayana — Uttara Kanda

Verse 98.21

एतावदुक्त्वा वचनं ब्रह्मा त्रिभुवनेश्वरः। जगाम त्रिदिवं देवो देवैः सह सबान्धवैः॥ ये च तत्र महात्मान ऋषयो ब्राह्मलौकिकाः। ब्रह्मणा समनुज्ञाता न्यवर्तन्त महौजसः॥ उत्तरं श्रोतुमनसो भविष्यं यच्च राघवे।

etāvaduktvā vacanaṃ brahmā tribhuvaneśvaraḥ| jagāma tridivaṃ devo devaiḥ saha sabāndhavaiḥ|| ye ca tatra mahātmāna ṛṣayo brāhmalaukikāḥ| brahmaṇā samanujñātā nyavartanta mahaujasaḥ|| uttaraṃ śrotumanaso bhaviṣyaṃ yacca rāghave|

English Meaning

Having said this, the deity Brahmă, the lord of the three worlds, with other deities, repaired to the region of immortals. The high-souled and the highly effulgent ascetics, living in Brahma's region, who were present in the assembly, obtaining Brahma's permission, waited there, to hear Rama's future career in the Uttarakandam.
