Sarg 95 - Raam Calls Seetaa 

After that those children recited that epic for several says. After the six Kaand, Raam came to know that they were Seetaa's sons, He sent two messengers to Vaalmeeeki's Aashram with the message that if Seetaa is pure and clean, then She should come and convince Ayodhyaa's public. If Seetaa wants to clear our black spot then She should come here and take vow to be clean and pure.

Maharshi said to the messenger - "Raajaa's orders will be obeyed. Husband is the highest for a woman so She will surely obey this." Messengers told this reply to Raam. Raam got very happy to hear this and said to Rishi Gan and kings - "Tomorrow you may see Seetaa taking vow with your own eyes." Rishi and kings admired Raam greatly and said - "Only you can behave in such a way in this world."

Sarg 96 - Raam Demands Proof

First thing in the morning, Raam called all Muni Gan and kings in royal court. Vashishth, Jaavaali, Kashyap, Vaamdev, Vishwamitra, Deerghaatmaa, Durvaasaa, Pulastya, Garg, Chyavan, Shataanand, Shakti, Bhaargav, Vaaman, Maarkandeya, Vaaman, Maarkandeya, Modgalya, Suprabh, Naarad, Parvat, Gautam etc many great Rishi came and sat on their Aasan. The whole public was very anxious to listen to Seetaa's vow.

At that time Vaalmeeki Jee came with Seetaa who was coming lowering Her head. Her eyes were full of tears, but She was continuously remembering Raam in Her heart. Vaalmeki Jee said to Raam - "Your wife is the highest among all Pativrataa women, bears good character and always meditates you. Both these boys are the sons of Seetaa. I do not tell lies. This is the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. These children are yours. I brought Her in my Aashram considering Her good character. She is innocent, sinless, still She will convince you because of the fear of the public. I have known from Yog power that although you know that She is sinless, still you left Her because of the fear of the public."

Sarg 97 - Seetaa Proves Herself Again

Raam said to Maharshi - "After hearing from you, now I do not have  any doubt in Her purity and cleanliness.  Seetaa has already passed the fire test in the presence of Devtaa in Lankaa. We brought Her to Ayodhyaa only after that test. But I had to leave Her because of public talks. Lav and Kush are our sons, I know that. I believe that I will love Her as before."

At the same time Braahman, Aaditya, Vasu, Rudra, Vishwadev, Rudra Gan, Naag and Siddh Gan also came there. Cool, slow air started flowing around and it was all happiness all around. Then Seetaa came in colored clothes and stood joining Her palms together. She said - "If I have even thought about any other man except Raam then this earth should split and I fall into it. If I am pure and Pativrataa then Maa Prithvi should take me in her lap."

At the same time Prithvi split and a throne came out of it. Devee Prithvi was sitting on that throne. Devee lifted Seetaa with Her both hands and the throne went to Rasaatal. Devtaa showered flowers. All public stood without even blinking their eyes in the Yagyashalaa.
