Sita was unable to say anything openly out of hesitation because it was an established tradition that a bride is not supposed to speak in public. She however became remorseful in her heart, remembering and invoking urgently goddess Gauri (Parvati), Lord Ganesh and Lord Shiva simultenously (to help her out of this muddle by making it possible for Lord Ram to break the bow and settle her future). Sita was hesitant because she was uncertain whether they will answer her prayers or not; she does not know what is in store in her destiny. She prayed earnestly and urgently because there was no time to procrastinate any further. It was a do or die situation for her. Sri Ram was her true and one love, and her union with him now depended on such a ridiculous condition as the breaking of a bow. She felt exasperated and frustrated beyond measure but could not gather courage to speak to her father to abandon his incredulous vows and let her marry the groom of her choice. The only avenue left for her was to pray to the patron Gods and Goddesses of the clan i.e. Lord Shiva and Parvati, beseeching them to intercede on her behalf and ensure that see get her beloved’s hand in marriage. Her dilemma is similar to that of Parvati who has to take the permission of her father Himwan to marry Shiva. Please see Parvati Mangal, verse no. 23 and Chanda 9. This book is published by me separately in this series, as Book no. 5.
