Satya supported by pramāṇa (credible proof): Sita provides a private, truthful recollection as verification, ensuring the message is authentic and not deceptive.
Hanuman tells Rama that Sita supplied an identifying sign by recalling a shared incident from Chitrakuta.
Prudence and integrity: Sita safeguards truth by giving a reliable means of recognition.
