When Rama stepped into the hall where the bow was kept, everyone present asked Rama to try and lift the bow. Many present there thought how would a young person like this manage to lift the bow, when they themselves had tried and failed.
Lakshmana asked Rama to lift the bow and dispel and doubts of the people present. Rama asked for permission from Vishwamitra.
Rama easily lifted the bow. This was the bow of Shiva, so Rama was scared to break it. He asked Vishwamitra what he should do. The sage said do as you feel like; lift the bow and break it.
Rama pulled at the bow, with a mighty sound the bow broke into two.
Such was the noise that people present were momentarily deafened. The worlds started shaking.
Janaka was elated. Music started playing. Rama went to the house of a priest of Janaka where he was taken care of, by the priest's family.
Vishwamitra then went to Janaka's palace.
Sita seeing the sage, bowed down before him. Janaka asked the sage to find out an auspicious time and moment when Rama's marriage could take place.
The sage then went to the place where Rama and Lakshmana were. He told Rama it was wish that he weds and goes home with his bride.
Rama said it had been many days since he had seen his father and further delay would worry his father. All four brothers were born on the same day, so it did not seem correct to get married, when they were not present. Also, they would like to marry one who had daughters who could get married to the other brothers.
