"Keshav, if Laxmi Narayan are Parambrahma, then why were they being engulfed in love like humans ?" Bheem asked.

"It is a part of their leela Bhrata Bheem, they have taken avatars as humans, thus they will live their lives as humans, and suffer just the way humans do. But in their pretence, the entire humanity will learn how to live." Krishna said.

The Swayamvar of Sita began and one by one kings came to lift the Shiv Dhanush. But the divine bow was as heavy as Kailash and who was as powerful among these men who could pick it up ?

Many great kings came, filled with pride and tall talks but miles away from reality. No one was able to win, there was not a king who was strong enough for the task.

Kings of great kingdoms came to pick the Shiv Dhanush up but how can they lift the divine bow when they couldn't even lift their arrogance.

The entire hall was filled with laughters of the guests as boastful kings lifted not Shiv Dhanush but the weight of their humiliation. But Janki wasn't even paying attention to who came and failed, her eyes were fixed on the lotus feet of Shri Ram.

"No one is able to succeed." Maharani Sunaina muttered worriedly.

"Maharaj shouldn't have put forward such a task. No one is able to lift the bow let alone string it." Malvika said.

"Everything will be fine. Don't worry." Urmila assured.

"Sita are you not worried ?" Malvika asked.

"Umm hmm." Janki shook her head.

"Are you even going to say something ?" Malvika asked.

"Is Raghunath looking at the bow ?" Janki asked.

"No he is looking at you." Malvika said.

Listening to that the smile on Janki's lowered face widened.

But suddenly the entire pavillion fell into commotion, as kings stood up not able to take their humiliation.

"Maharaj Janak, you have insulted us !" One king said.

"Yes ! You have ridiculed our valor !" Another king said.

Janak frowned and stood up looking at the angered kings.

"What insult ? If for my daughter Sita, I wished for a brave husband then was it wrong ? Every father wishes a strong husband for her daughter. I also thought the same while organising the swayamvar. But none of you were able to move the Shiv Dhanush by an inch let alone pick it up and string it. I am disappointed." Janak said.

The kings sat down in their places huffing.

"Looks like the valorous man who can be worthy of being my daughter Sita's husband has yet not been created by Brahma. But one thing has been proven." Janak said.

Laxman frowned hearing his words, not liking where this was going.

"Aaj yeh dharti veero se rikt ho chuki hai." Janak said.

"Maharaj Janak !" Laxman stood up holding his bow.

"Your restlessness is justified. But you shouldn't have said that the earth is bereft of brave warriors when Raghukul Shiromani Shri Ram Chandra is sitting in the pavilion." Laxman said.
