सर्गः १०६
In which Fire returns pure Sita untouched even in mind, and Rama declares his harsh test meant to vindicate her before the three worlds as shore bounds ocean
Hearing grandsire word Fire rises holding Vaidehi on lap — Fire presents sunlike gold-ornamented red-clad black-curly-haired girl with unfaded garlands — Fire witness says Vaidehi has no sin by word mind thought or eye well-conducted never transgressed — Fire says lustful Ravana bore helpless parted Sita from lonely forest and confined her guarded with mind on Rama — Fire says rakshasi-guarded threatened tempted Mithili never thought of demon with soul fixed on Rama — Fire bids Raghava take pure sinless commanding no blame — Mighty Rama tells gods Sita needed purification before three worlds after long Ravana house stay lest saints call Rama lustful childish — Rama says he knows sole-hearted devoted Mithili guarding his mind — Rama says for conviction of three worlds he overlooked Vaidehi entering fire guarded by own splendour as ocean by shore — Rama says evil one could not assault blazing Mithili even in mind inseparable as sunlight from sun pure in three worlds like fame — Rama vows to honour loving honoured friendly words and praised for deed reunites with beloved and enjoys happiness
