तत्र मे बुद्धिरुत्पन्ना जनकस्य सुतां प्रति । अत्रोषितामिमां सीतामानयेयं कथं पुरीम् ॥ 7-45-6 ॥

"At that time a thought arose in me concerning Janaka's daughter: 'How can I bring back to the city this Sita, who has dwelt here in the dwelling of another?'"

प्रत्ययार्थं ततः सीता विवेश ज्वलनं तदा । प्रत्यक्षं तव सौमित्रे देवानां हव्यवाहनः । अपापां मैथिलीमाह वायुश्चाकाशगोचरः ॥ 7-45-7 ॥

"Then, for the sake of proof, Sita entered the fire at that time—before your very eyes, Saumitri—and the bearer of the gods' oblations declared Maithili to be without sin, and so too did the Wind that ranges through the sky."

चन्द्रादित्यौ च शंसेते सुराणां सन्निधौ पुरा । ऋषीणां चैव सर्वेषामपापां जनकात्मजाम् ॥ 7-45-8 ॥

"The moon and the sun also testified, of old, in the presence of the gods and of all the sages, that the daughter of Janaka was without sin."
