I am the daughter-in-law of Dasaratha, knowing his own self, the foremost of the kings of the world and the slayer of the enemy's host, and the daughter of Janaka the high-souled king of Vaideha. My name is Sītā and I am the consort of the highly intelligent Rāma.
पृथिव्यां राजसिंहानां मुख्यस्य विदितात्मनः। स्नुषा दशरथस्याहं शत्रुसैन्यप्रणाशिनः॥ दुहिता जनकस्याहं वैदेहस्य महात्मनः। सीतेति नाम्ना चोक्ताहं भार्या रामस्य धीमतः॥
