အရှင်မင်းကြီး၊ ဤသည်မှာ ကျွန်ုပ်၏သမီးဖြစ်ပါသည်။ ဗိශ්ဝာမိတ္တရ် ရှေ့ဆောင်အဖြစ်ရှိလျက်၊ မတော်တဆရောက်လာသကဲ့သို့သော သူရဲကောင်းများ—အရှင်၏သားတော်များ—က ဤသမီးကို အနိုင်ရယူခဲ့ကြပါသည်။

FAQs
Dharma as rightful eligibility: Sītā is given according to the established standard (prowess), not favoritism—upholding fairness and truth in royal conduct.
Janaka formally informs Daśaratha that Rāma (and his accompanying brother) has fulfilled the condition and thus ‘won’ Sītā, arriving with sage Viśvāmitra.
Rāma’s vīrya (heroic capability) joined with humility—his arrival is described as ‘unexpected,’ suggesting absence of boastful intent.
