And understanding from the story that Kusa and Lava were Janaki's sons, Rāma mentioning her name said before the assembly:-Send a good emissary to the illustrious Vālmīki and let him communicate to the ascetics that if Janaki is sinless and has lead a pure life in the forest; let her give proof of purity by the great ascetic's permission.
तस्मिन्गीते तु विज्ञाय सीतापुत्रौ कुशीलवौ। तस्याः परिषदो मध्ये रामो वचनमब्रवीत्॥ दूताशुद्धसमाचारानाहूयात्ममनीषया। मद्वचो ब्रूत गच्छध्वमितो भगवतोऽन्तिके॥ यदि शुद्धसमाचारा यदि वा वीतकल्मषा। करोत्विहात्मनः शुद्धिमनुमान्य महामुनिम्॥
