Those ladies thought that Sītā, the captivater of Rāma's heart was surely the best of all women and for certain had she performed some great austerities in her past life or else she would not have been the companion of Răma, like to Rohini, the companion of Moon.
सर्वसीमन्तिनीभ्यश्च सीतां सीमन्तिनी वराम्॥ अमन्यन्त हि ता नार्यो रामस्य हृदयप्रियाम्। तया सुचरितं देव्या पुरा नूनं महत् तपः॥ रोहिणीव शशाङ्केन रामसंयोगमाप या।
