THE END

Agni, God of fire, rose in his own body out of the flames and lifting Seeta in his arms with all her clothes and jewels untouched and intact, presented her to Raama.

Raama said to Brahma: "Who am I? All that I know and can tell is that I am Raama, son of Dasaratha. You know who I am and whence I came and more; it is you who must inform me."

Saying this to Brahma, Raama accepted Seeta fire-proved.

"Think you that I did not know your irreproachable purity? This ordeal was to satisfy the people. Without it, they would say would they not? That Raama, blinded by love, behaved with a strange weakness and broke the rule of well-brought-up men."

So saying he drew her to his side.
