Ramayana-22 (Seeta) The beautiful and little Seeta made Janakas palace a heaven. She moved in and around like a butterfly,made everyone happy and a new life to the childless couple!. It was really a gift to Mithila by the goddess Earth. Day by day she became more and more beautiful and learned the sastras ,responsibilities etc. of a person ,wife,mother a queen etc from gurus as the tradition of a kings family..When Sitaa reached the age of marriage,Janaka was sad that he would have to part with her.Though he tried hard,he was unable to choose a prince worthy of Seeta.Many Kings came to Mithila,seeking Seetas hand,but in Janakas view none of them was good enough.The king anxiously thought over the matter and came to a decision. Long ago,pleased with a yaaga performed by Janaka,Varuna presented to him Rudras Bow and two quivers.That was an ancient heavenly bow,which no ordinary man could even move.This was kept by him as an honoured heir-loom..Since only a very exceptional man could be considered worthy s Seeta,Janaka issued this proclamation:Seeta ,my daughter,will be given in marriage to the prince who can lift,bend and string the bow of Siva which Varuna gave me and to none other.
