Rama goes to Janaka's palace

The sages blessed Rama for saving the sacrifice.  The offerings of the sacrifice was distributed amongst all. All were tired and went to sleep early.

The next days the sages were discussing among themselves about the previous day's happenings. They said Rama was not an ordinary person, but a God who was amongst them.

Hearing this Vishwamitra said that King Janaka was arranging a swayamvar for Sita. The sage said many kings had come to win Sita but all fled seeing the bow that had to be lifted to win the princess.

Rama and Lakshmana left with Vishwamitra to see the bow of Shiva. When they reached the palace gates, a message was sent to Janaka that Vishwamitra had come with slayer of Taraka.

The king welcomed them and made them comfortable. Vishwamitra told Janaka all that had happened.

Janaka after hearing this, wanted Rama as the husband for his daughter. People hearing this thronged to see the princes.

Janaka said anyone who can break the bow of Shiva can take my daughter Sita as his wife.

Rama wanted to see the bow and Janaka decided to take him there. At that momemnt. Sita with her attendants was also there. She asked her companions to find out who the handsom princes were, especially the dark one.. The companion said that was Rama, prince of Ayodhya.
