If he goes astray and asserts to be a 20niyanta
The country witnesses the naked dance of 21duranta
If his 22achara and 23seela do not set a standard
Could the standards establish any decent standard?
A true 24bhukanta must bury his egotism to install
Altruism over its tomb; and raise it to pedestal
It's but natural, people suspect the chastity of woman
If abducted by and kept in captivity by any man.
Fire - ordeal publishes to the world her inherent purity
And teaches the gossipers a lesson on probity
Hence, Fire-ordeal for Sita is a prime necessity
To prove tier purity, mark it-a God - sent opportunity.
Dost
thou fear that Fire God burns that 25puneetha
No, her very 26vikshana chastens to make him 27Jagadvandita
Hearing this, Sita hurried to face the 28agnipareeksha
To breathe life into her Lord's 29Dharmaparipalana deeksha.
